Figure 5

B6.Apc+/+ and B6.ApcMin/+ mice were fed diets supplemented with coconut (purple), corn (green) or olive (blue) oil for 30 days. Levels of anti- and pro-inflammatory mediators implicated in inflammation and cancer such as VEGF (A), TNF-α (B), IL-23 (C), IL-1β (D) and IL-10 (E) were measured in intestinal tissue at day 30 of treatment. Values represent means ± s.e.m. (n=3–5 males/group). *P<0.05, **P<0.01 in relation to the same strain fed the LFDCoco. #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 in relation to the same strain fed the corresponding LFDCoco or HFDCoco.
