Fig 8. Effect of ZEA diet on nuclear receptors (PPAR-γ, NF-kB1/p50, NF-kB/p65, AP-1, STAT-3, c-JUN) gene expression in spleen.

Gene expression of nuclear receptors in spleen samples derived from animals treated in vivo with ZEA and analysed by qPCR. Results are expressed as fold changes after normalization of the expression of target gene to the mean of 2 internal reference genes. Values are the means ± SEM, from two independent replicates spleen samples/group (n = 5). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher test.
