Ten-week-high fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL6 male mice treated with PRE had improved glucose intolerance and decreased inflammation in adipose tissue, as indicated by reductions in NF-κB phosphorylation and pro-inflammatory genes' expression. To investigate the effects of PRE on inflammation, we first tested NF-κB transcriptional activity of TPRE because NF-κB is an essential regulator of pro-inflammatory response ( Figure S1 ). Together, these results strongly suggest that PRE suppresses TNF-α-mediated pro-inflammatory gene expression by activating AMPK. Together, these results strongly suggest that PRE suppresses TNF-α-mediated pro-inflammatory gene expression by activating AMPK. ./cache/cord-009326-dvhkk405.txt ./txt/cord-009326-dvhkk405.txt
