Effects of oral administration of BAA6 or AKK on inflammation in HFD-fed mice. (A) The level of serum lipopolysaccharides (LPS). (B) Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) concentration in epididymal adipose tissues. Protein expression levels of (C) phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK)/JNK and (D) phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2)/ERK1/2 in epididymal fat tissues following daily treatment with 109 CFU/kg BAA6 or AKK. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 6). Bars with different lowercase letters denote significant differences among groups (p < 0.05).
