Sex Male Female Male Female
Weight loss (g) 6.983 ± 0.35 4.741 ± 0.26 6.750 ± 0.38 4.920 ± 0.34
Left lung weight (mg) 106.1 ± 8.55 95.93 ± 4.01 149.9 ± 5.85* 147.9 ± 8.62
M protein (Ct Value) 20.00 ± 0.50 22.35 ± 1.01 21.74 ± 0.51 20.00 ± 0.36
BALF IL-6 (ng/mL) 1.450 ± 0.08 1.410 ± 0.21 5.231 ± 0.53 2.627 ± 0.25
Lung CD45+ cells (# × 106) 1.876 ± 0.481 1.410 ± 0.126 2.924 ± 0.174 1.225 ± 0.0874
Lung macrophage (# × 105) 6.063 ± 0.451 4.822 ± 0.514 15.74 ± 1.61 6.764 ± 0.535
Lung neutrophil (# × 104) 6.713 ± 0.787 8.664 ± 1.71 25.12 ± 3.21* 7.304 ± 0.925

All conditions reported as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Ordinary one-way analysis of variance, statistical analysis compares HFD mice and their respective CD sex control (HFD male vs. CD male, HFD female vs. CD female).

# = number; BALF = bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; CD = chow diet; HFD = high-fat diet; IL-6 = interleukin-6.
