Piperine inhibited the inflammatory state of the adipose tissue in MSG-obese mice. a Piperine decreased CD11c mRNA level in WAT. b-d Piperine reduced IL-1β, Gal-3 and TNF-a mRNA levels in WAT. e-h The expression of CD11c (400×) and Gal-3 (200×) in abdominal adipose. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 6–8. ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 vs. Normal group; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. Model group
