Effects of WD feeding on systemic and hepatic pro-inflammatory markers. Serum concentrations of leptin (a), IL-1β (b), IL-6 (c), MCP-1 (d), and TNF-α (e). Hepatic protein content for phospho-IkBα and phospho-p65 (f & g). Values are means ± SE. WD feeding tended to elevate serum leptin compared to CTL rats (p = 0.07), while not affecting other pro-inflammatory serum markers. Moreover, WD feeding did not affect liver markers of NF-κB signaling
