Assessment of systemic and intestinal inflammatory markers. Serum and fecal levels of inflammatory markers were measured in HC and MetS participants. Plot showing (A) serum TNFα levels; (B) serum hsCRP levels; (C) fecal calprotectin levels. (D,E) Pearson’s correlation coefficients between (D) TNFα and triglycerides and (E) TNFα and HDL cholesterol. Plot showing (F) lactulose/mannitol ratio; (G) total lactulose levels recovered in the urine; and (H) total mannitol levels recovered in the urine. Plots indicate median (±minimum and maximum) or mean (±SE). * p < 0.05, and ns, not significant. Two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-tests (A,H) or two-tailed Mann–Whitney U (B,C,F,G).
