Lipoic acid suppresses portal endotoxemia-induced steatohepatitis and pancreatic inflammation in rats

Figure 4 Effect of α-lipoic acid on portal endotoxemia-induced changes in the pancreas. The pancreata from experimental animals were harvested and tested for: (A) Malondialdehyde (MDA) content; (B) Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) protein level; and (C) Interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein level. Values are expressed as mean ± SE, n = 6 per group. ^aP < 0.05 vs C_PV; ^cP < 0.05 vs F_PV; ^eP < 0.05 vs F_PLPS. C: Regular diet; F: High-fructose enriched diet; LA: Lipoic acid; LPS: Lipopolysaccharides.
