Fig. 1 Relative expression of genes related to the inflammatory status in lean and obese Zucker rats following control or a wild blueberry diet. Values are means±S.E.M., expressed as 2−ΔΔCt normalized to beta-actin and relative to LZR-C. n=10. Asterisks indicate statistically significant effects of diet within the same model, (*P<.05; **P<.01; ***P<.001). “+” indicates statistically significant difference of LZR-C vs. OZR-C (P<.001). Abbreviation: AAT, abdominal adipose tissue. Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry 2013 24, 1508-1512DOI: (10.1016/j.jnutbio.2012.12.010) Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
