Cytokine mRNAs levels in the hypothalamus: proinflammatory cytokine TNFα in rats fed high fat diet (HFD, white columns); HFD supplemented with ABA in drinking water (20 mg/L) (HFD-ABA, diagonal lines); standard diet (SD, horizontal lines); and SD supplemented with ABA (SD-ABA, black columns). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 4–6 rats) and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls Multiple Comparison Test; *, p < 0.05 vs. HFD
