FIG. 2.

High-fat feeding induces inflammation in heart. A: Plasma IL-6 and TNF-α levels were elevated in HFD-fed mice. ■, Standard diet; Inline graphic, HFD. B: Immunohistochemistry using anti-CD68 of heart samples obtained after HFD or standard (chow) diet. CD68 markers, shown with red arrows, are elevated in HFD heart. C: Quantification of immunohistochemical CD68 levels. D: Macrophage-specific CD68 protein levels normalized to β-actin in heart was elevated in HFD-fed mice. E: TLR4 and MyD88 expression normalized to β-actin were elevated in HFD heart. F: SOCS3 protein levels normalized to β-actin were increased in heart following HFD. Values are means ± SE for five to seven mice in each experiment. *P < 0.05 vs. standard diet–fed mice. (A high-quality color digital representation of this figure is available in the online issue.)
