All values are x¯±SEM, n = 10 baboons. TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α; LPS, lipopolysaccharide; oxLDL, oxidized LDL; IL, interleukin; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; INF-γ, interferon γ; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; RANTES, regulated on activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor.

2–4

Significantly different from no treatment at the same week (paired Student’s t test) with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons:

2

P < 0.05,

3

P < 0.01,

4

P < 0.001.

5

There was a significant time-by-treatment interaction only for MCP-1 concentrations in endothelial cell treated with TNF-α based on 2-factor ANOVA.
