Effect of PN and FPN on the gene expression of inflammatory mediators and antimicrobial peptides in a HFD-induced mouse model after treatment for 9 weeks. Expressions of the genes of interest in the intestine, liver, and adipose were determined by RT-PCR. The relative gene expression of the inflammatory mediators (A) TNF-α, (B) MCP-1, and (C) IL-1β as well as relative gene expressions of anti-microbial peptides (D) Pgc1α, (E) Pla2g2α, and (F) Reg3γ were measured in the colon tissue. The relative gene expressions of LPS binding protein (LBP) was measured in (G) colon, (H) liver, and (I) adipose tissue. The data are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 7–8); #p < 0.05; ##p < 0.005; ###p < 0.001; NOR vs. HFD group. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; HFD group vs. treatment groups (XEN, PN and FPN).
