mRNA gene expression in MLN lymphocytes. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error (n = 6–9). Statistical differences: * means a significant difference induced by the cocoa diet (p < 0.05 by two-way ANOVA), ** means a significant difference with respect to the reference diet or induced by the oral sensitization process (p < 0.001 by Bonferroni test). Groups: RF/R = reference group; RF/C = reference group fed cocoa diet; OVA/R = sensitized group; OVA/C = sensitized group fed cocoa diet.
