Furthermore, Foxo4 only reversed the upregulation of MC5R and Leptin (P<0.05), and the downregulation of Foxo4 and IL-6 by αMSH in mRNA level (P<0.05) (Figure 3H), suggesting that αMSH may inhibit adipocyte inflammation partly via Foxo4 transcriptional regulation. Here, STAMBP is linked to inflammatory response.
