However, cocoa supplementation reduced the expression of these genes by 40 – 61%
compared to HF controls. Interestingly, the decreased expression of
Emr1 (also known as F4/80 in mouse) indicates that cocoa treatment
decreased macrophage infiltration into AT. Studies have also shown
that Emr1 was significantly and positively correlated with both
adipocyte size and body mass [6]
