Effects of yacon flour on inflammatory markers in HFD-fed rats. (a) Representative sections of visceral fat stained with MCP-1 from rats fed standard diet (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented or not with yacon flour (680 mg FOS/kg body weight: HFD Y680) (original magnification 126X). (b) Staining score, assigned to each section according to the MCP-1 levels. (c) F4/80 protein expression of in visceral fat by western blotting. (d, e) Serum TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations determined by ELISA. (f, g) Plasma leptin and adiponectin concentrations. (h) Leptin/adiponectin ratio. Data are mean ± standard deviation (n=6/group). ^a p < 0.05 vs. SD, ^b p < 0.05 vs. HFD.
