MPE attenuates inflammation by decreasing the protein level of NF-κB p65 and increasing the protein level of IκB. A–C, Western blotting analysis of respective markers in MIN6 cells. D–F, Western blotting analysis of respective markers in primary pancreatic islets from HFD-induced obese mice. G–I, Western blotting analysis of respective markers in primary pancreatic islets from C57 mice. Mix represents mixture of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β + TNFα + IFNγ). Ctl, HG control. Data are presented as mean ± S.E. (error bars) with individual data points in histograms. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01.
