From: Elevated leptin levels induce inflammation through IL-6 in skeletal muscle of aged female rats
Effect of leptin on Il1b, Il6, and Tnfa mRNA expression. Effect of leptin on Il6 (a), Il1b (b), Tnfa (c) gene expression in cultured quadricep muscle-derived cells. Quadricep muscle-derived cells were stimulated with 0 (control), 1, or 10 μg/mL rat recombinant leptin. Gene expression in the leptin-stimulated groups was compared with that in the control group. Data indicate mean ± SE (n = 10). * p < 0.05, compared to control
