Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of brown algae Undaria pinnatifida and fucoxanthin on ( A ) adiponectin (μg/mL); ( B ) leptin (ng/mL); ( C ) C reactive protein (μg/mL); ( D ) PAI-1 (pg/mL) measured on blood serum. The groups are abbreviated as: standard diet (SD); high-fat diet (HF); HF + Undaria pinnatifida (UP); HF + Fucoxanthin (FU). Values are shown as mean ± SE, ( n = 6 per group). Data was compared by one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak test for multiple comparisons. Means with different superscripts are significantly different ( p < 0.05).
Article Snippet: Quantitative estimations of leptin (cat. EZRL-83K; Millipore, St. Charles, MO, USA), adiponectin (cat. EZRADP-62K, Millipore, MO, USA), C-reactive protein (cat. CYT294; Millipore, St. Charles, MO, USA) and PAI-1 serum levels (cat. Ab198509, Abcam, Cambrige, UK) were performed following the manufacture’s protocols using specific ELISA kits.
