The effects of a high-fat diet and osteocalcin on plasma concentrations and liver mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors in aged hens. (A) The change of plasma IL-1. (B) The change of plasma IL-6. (C) The change of plasma TNF-α. (a) The change of liver IL-1 mRNA expression. (b) The change of liver IL-6 mRNA expression. (c) The change of liver TNF-α mRNA expression. a, b Mean ± SEM with different small letter differ significantly (P < 0.05, n = 10). Abbreviations: HFD + OCN, high-fat diet + osteocalcin; HFD + V, high-fat diet + vehicle; ND + V, normal diet + vehicle; IL-1, interleukin-1; IL-6, interleukin-6; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
