Plasma concentrations of inflammatory parameters of adults male and female zebrafish (three months) with diet-induced obesity (DIO) for eight weeks. Values are expressed as mean (standard deviation), n = 9 adult animals per group and sex. Letters a and b represent statistical differences in the comparison between groups. Equal letters indicate no significant difference between the groups evaluated for each parameter (Asterisks: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01). Control group 1: fed with Artemia sp. (first month: 15 mg/day/fish and in the second month 30 mg/day/fish); control group 2: fed with commercial food (3.5% of the group’s average weight); obesity group 1: overfed with powdered egg yolk mixed with soybean oil (2.5:1 w/w)—5% of average body weight; obesity group 2—overfed with Artemia sp. in the first month (60 mg/day/fish) and in the second month (120 mg/day/fish). (A): results of TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; (B): results of IL-6: interleukin-6.
