Fig. 6From: Obesity induces morphological and functional changes in female reproductive system through increases in NF-κB and MAPK signaling in miceObesity induced increases in IL-6 and TNF-α protein expression levels in female reproductive system. Comparison of IL-6 and TNF-α protein expression levels by Western blot analysis in uterus (A), ovary (B) and oviduct (C) in HFD and ND fed mice. IL-6 and TNF-α protein expression levels were dramatically greater in the tissues of the HFD group than the ND group (n = 6). Data were normalized to β-Actin expression levels validated loading level equivalence and presented as mean ± SD (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
