| Groups | TNF-α ( pg/ml ) | hs-CRP (mg/l) | Leptin (ng/ml) | Adiponectin (μg/ml) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 31.13±13.72 | 631.37±111.64 | 4.41 ± 0.48 | 15.24±3.65 |
| Acrylamide intoxicated | 56.13±18.61# | 895.25±82.90## | 6.41 ± 1.28## | 11.30±6.04 |
| Acrylamide + CE (250 mg/kg/day) | 22.00±10.24** | 697.00±245.98 | 4.03±1.07** | 16.89±3.51 |
| Acrylamide + CE (500 mg/kg/day) | 32.70±17.19* | 664.50±89.06** | 4.60±0.74** | 15.05±6.25 |
a All values are expressed as mean±SD (n=8). ANOVA followed by Tukey test was used for statistical analysis. * indicates p<0.05 and ** indicates p<0.01 vs. acrylamide intoxicated group; # indicates p<0.05 and ## indicates p<0.01 vs. control group.
TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor α; hs-CRP: high sensitive C-reactive protein; CE: cinnamon extract.
