IMB17–15 significantly inhibited the hepatic inflammation response in hamsters fed with the HFD. a Hepatic mRNA expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα in the control, HFD + NS and HFD + IMB17–15 groups. ACTB served as the loading control. b The protein expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα in each group of hamsters. β-actin served as the loading control. Western blot results for each animal are quantified in the three groups. IL-1β interleukin 1β, IL-6 interleukin 6, TNFα tumor necrosis factor α. The values are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 6 in each group), ^#P < 0.05 versus the control group, ^##P < 0.01 versus the control group, *P < 0.05 versus the HFD + NS group, **P < 0.01 versus the HFD + NS group; ANOVA followed by Duncan's multiple range tests
