Increased Visfatin Expression is Associated with Nuclear Factor-kappa β in Obese-Ovalbumin Sensitized Male Wistar Rats Trachea

Conclusion: In this study, the expression levels of NF-κβ and visfatin were markedly highe r in high-fat diet sensitized rat compared with other groups. These findings indicate that alternative signaling pathways might be activated in diet-induced obesity associated with OVA-sensitized animal model and could be responsible for possible altered sensitization phenotype.
