Macadamia Oil Supplementation Attenuates Inflammation and Adipocyte Hypertrophy in Obese Mice

Figure 3

Inflammatory parameters in adipose tissue homogenate and adipose tissue explant incubation medium. IL10 content in adipose tissue homogenate (a) and IL1-β in the adipose tissue explant incubation medium, after 24 hours measured by ELISA (b). The animals received water or macadamia oil orally, 2 g/kg b.w., with or without association with a high-fat diet. CD = group of animals maintained on control diet; HF = group of animals fed high-fat diet; CD + MO = group of animals fed control diet supplemented with macadamia oil; HF + MO = group of animals fed high-fat diet supplemented with macadamia oil. The data are given as the means ± S.D. ().
