Effect of digested total protein and digested albumin and glutelin from chia seeds to prevent and inhibit the inflammation in mature adipocytes stimulated by inflamed macrophages. iNOS expression on prevention (a) and inhibition (b); NO secretion on prevention (c) and inhibition (d); COX-2 expression on prevention (e) and inhibition (f); PGE2 secretion on prevention (g) and inhibition (h). Untreated receive any treatment, PC receive only the CM. All experiments were performed in at least two independent trials run with triplicate data points. Different letter per column means statistically different among the proteins by ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey-test (p < 0.05). CM: conditioned media; iNOS: inducible nitric oxide synthase; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; NO: nitric oxide; COX-2: cyclooxygenase2; PGE2: prostaglandin 2; PC: Positive control.
