From: Elevated leptin levels induce inflammation through IL-6 in skeletal muscle of aged female rats
Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis of inflammatory cytokines and muscle breakdown-related gene expression in quadriceps muscles. Relative gene expression of inflammatory cytokines, Il6 (a), Il1b (b), Tnfa (c), and muscle breakdown-related gene Atrogin1 (d) and MuRF1 (e) in quadriceps muscle extracted from young (10 weeks) and aged (48 weeks) rats. Data represent mean ± SE (n = 10). * p < 0.05, between young and aged groups
