Description
Summary:Objective(s): To explore whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress regulates inflammation in adipose tissue of obese rats via TLR4 signaling. Materials and Methods: Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, and body weight, food intake, and free fatty acids (FFA) were measured. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to determine mRNA or protein expression of TLR4, TRAF6, IKKβ, TNF-α, IL-6, and GRP78. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect GRP78 protein expression. Results: The FFA levels in HFD, HFD+PBA, and HFD+VIPER groups were higher than that in the control group (P
