Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and proinflammatory HDL. A: This bar graph shows the concentration of total cholesterol in control, OVA-Sen, and OVA-Sen+D-4F-treated mice (NS = not significant). B: This bar graph shows HDL cholesterol concentrations in control, OVA-Sen, and OVA-Sen+D-4F-treated mice. C: Proinflammatory HDL (p-HDL) is a cell-free assay that assesses the oxidizability of HDL. This bar graph shows that HDL in OVA-sensitized mice is more easily oxidized than HDL isolated from control mice and that intranasal D-4F treatments decrease HDL oxidizability in OVA-sensitized mice. (NS, not significant; Controls, n = 4; OVA-sensitized, n = 11; OVA-sensitized+D-4F, n = 4).
