Fig. 5. Anti-inflammatory effects of tomato oleoresin in cardiac function recovery. The obesity promotes increase of inflammatory markers (TNF-α, MCP-1 and IL-6). This inflammatory condition modifies the myocardial calcium handling, leading to an impairment in the Maximum developed tension [DT]; positive [+dT/dt]; negative [-dT/dt] tension derivative. The anti-inflammatory proprieties of Tomato oleoresin were able to recovery the cardiac function.
