Of particular interest, AX treatment decreased the serum concentrations of 2 inflammatory markers that were downregulated in the adipose tissue through AX treatment, namely IL6 (53.9±11.5 pg/ml and 21.9±7.7 pg/ml for HF and HF-AX groups, respectively; t test p<0.05) and MCP-1 (32.1±5.3 pg/ml and 12.3±2.4 pg/ml for HF and HF-AX groups, respectively; t test p<0.05). Here, CCL2 is linked to hydrops fetalis.
