LPS-induced inflammatory response in vivo. a–f qRT-PCR for the expression of genes involved in LPS response. SFV was isolated from AT and plated in 12-well plates following exposure to 100 ng/mL LPS for 4 h. Each transcript was normalized to that in CTR + H₂O group (n = 6 mice/group). g, h ELISA for TNF-α and IL-1β of the supernatant of SFV from the three groups upon ex vivo exposure to LPS for 24 h. Mean ± SEM. n = 4 mice/group
