Cytokine expression and NF-κB activation in mouse kidneys. Mice were fed a control diet, high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD supplemented with lingonberry (HFD+LB) for 12 weeks. The mRNA expression of (A) TNF-α, (B) IL-6, and (C) MCP-1 in kidneys were measured by using qPCR analysis. (D) The NF-κB/DNA binding activity was determined by EMSA. Histone in the nuclear content detected by Western immunoblotting analysis served as a loading control. The results are expressed as the means ± SE (n = 6). *p < 0.05 when compared with the value obtained from the control group. #p < 0.05 when compared with the value obtained from the HFD group.
