CSO alleviated systemic inflammation, counteracted muscle and fat loss. A, B. CSO administration significantly reduced the levels of TNF-α (a) and IL-6 (b) in the serum of cachectic mice. c. Tumor-bearing mice suffered from significant muscle loss while CSO significantly ameliorated the muscle wasting. d. CSO administration remarkably elevated epididymal fat weight in cachectic mice. e. Representative figures of epididymal fat inthree groups (Ctrl, CA, CA + Coix). Values were expressed as mean ± SEM (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001)
