Fig. 3From: Genetic deletion of MMP12 ameliorates cardiometabolic disease by improving insulin sensitivity, systemic inflammation, and atherosclerotic features in miceReduced systemic inflammation and altered immune cell composition in blood of DKO mice. (A) Circulating MCP-1 concentrations in LdlrKO and DKO mice measured by ELISA (n = 5–7). (B) Absolute white blood cell count analyzed by a fully automated hematology analyzer (n = 5–6). (C, D) Representative flow cytometric plots of Ly6G vs. CD11b staining of CD45 + cells. (E) Quantification of Ly6G vs. CD11b staining of immune cells in peripheral blood (n = 5–6). Data represent mean values ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001Back to article page
