trans-Chalcone protects male rats against high-fat emulsion-induced pancreatic injury by inhibiting TNF-α and MCP-1 expression [PDF]
Background. High-fat diet (HFD) intake is linked to ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas. It also causes pancreatic inflammatory lesions. trans-Chalcone is a simple chalcone with protective effects against HFD-induced metabolic disorders.
