TNF-α, IL-6, VCAM-1, MCP-1, CD36 and eNOS mRNA levels from cardiac tissues of each groupby Real-time PCR detection. The expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, VCAM-1, MCP-1, CD36 and eNOS mRNA in HF group were significantly higher than those in the ND group. The expressions of IL-6, VCAM-1, MCP-1, and eNOS mRNA in Maoberrytreated groups were significantly lower than those in the HF group. Each bar represents the relative mean ± SD, n = 12 each. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.01 represent significant differences when compared with the ND group. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 and ###p < 0.001 represent significant differences when compared with the HF group. ND: a standard diet, HF: a high fat diet, ML, MM, MH: a high fat diet with Maoberry extract 0.38 or 0.76 or 1.52 g/kg, respectively, STAT: a high fat diet with simvastatin 10 mg/kg
