Figure 7. P. g and/or high fat diet results in increased proinflamatory cytokines in ApoE⁺/⁻-TLR2^+/+ mice when compared to ApoE^+/−-TLR2^+/−, and ApoE^+/−-TLR2^−/− mice.

Serum cytokine levels (pg/ml) in mice maintained on a standard lab chow diet and inoculated weekly for 24 weeks with P. g. (Fig 7A&7B). Serum cytokine levels (pg/ml) in mice maintained on a high fat diet and injected with saline weekly for 24 weeks (Fig 7C&7D). Serum cytokine levels (pg/ml) in mice maintained on a high fat diet and inoculated weekly for 24 weeks with P. g (Fig 7E&7F).
