Effect of high calorie environment towards oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory status in rat strains. After the completion of feeding experiment, blood was collected; plasma was separated and estimated the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. (A) Interleukin 6; IL-6. (B) Tumor necrosis factor alpha; TNFα. (C) Interleukin 1 beta; IL-1β. (D) Macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha; MIP-1α. (E) Vascular endothelial growth factor; VEGF. (F) IFN gamma inducible protein 10; IP-10. (G) Monocyte chemotactic protein 1; MCP1 and anti -inflammatory cytokines such as (H) Interleukin 4; IL-4 and (I) Interleukin 10; IL-10. (J) TBARS assay was performed on liver tissue lysate to study oxidative stress. Data was presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6 per group). Diets: control; HF, high fat; HS, high sucrose; HFS, high fat sucrose. TBARS, Thio Barbituricacid Reactive Substances. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 statistically significance compared to their respective controls. Groups were compared using one way ANOVA.
