FGF21 deficiency aggravated diabetes-induced inflammation. At indicated time points after diabetes onset, aortic inflammation was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of TGF-β expression (a, b) and TNF-α (c, d). Plasma IL-6 was detected by ELISA (e). Data are presented as means ± SD, n ≥ 5 for each group. * p < 0.05 vs WT Ctrl group; # p < 0.05 vs FGF21KO Ctrl group; & p < 0.05 vs WT DM group. Bar = 50 μm. Abbreviations are the same as the Fig. 1
