For immune cells, the total numbers of NKT (CD45+7-AAD−CD19−TCRβlowCd1dtet) cells, macrophages (CD45+7-AAD−CD11b+F4/80low), and CD11c (CD45+7-AAD−CD11c+) cells, expressed as fold ratios relative to respective sham-operated mice and as determined by flow cytometry, are shown (n = 3–6/group). Data are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05 relative to sham-operated mice.
mRNA expression levels shown are relative to GAPDH and are expressed as fold ratios relative to respective sham-operated mice (n = 4–9/group). Data are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 relative to sham-operated mice.
