From: Acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) juice intake protects against alterations to proteins involved in inflammatory and lipolysis pathways in the adipose tissue of obese mice fed a cafeteria diet

Figure 2

Effects of cafeteria diet on inflammatory parameters in epididymal adipose tissue. TNF-α (pg/μg protein-1) (a); IL-10 (pg/ug protein-1) (b); and IL-10/TNF-α ratio (c) of mice fed the standard diet (STA), the cafeteria diet with distilled water (CAF + WD), the cafeteria diet with vitamin C (CAF + Vit C), the cafeteria diet with industrial acerola juice (CAF + IND), the cafeteria diet with the juice of unripe acerolas (CAF + UNR) or the cafeteria diet with the juice of ripe acerolas (CAF + RIP). The results are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6 per group). $p < 0.05 versus standard diet; *p < 0.05 versus the cafeteria diet with distilled water; #p < 0.05 versus the cafeteria diet with vitamin C.
