Figure 3. Dental Pg infection predisposes to increased invasion of injured mouse aortal tissue under HFD conditions.

Figure 3

(A) Expression of the mgl gene of Pg is detected in aortal tissue of infected mice. Genomic DNA of Pg W83 strain is included as a positive control (PC). (B) Immunolocalization of Pg (brown particles) is observed in aortal walls of infected mice. (C) Pg invasion is significantly higher in HFD-Pg group. Mean ± SD *P<0.05, **P<0.01. Scale bar, 10 µm; CD, chow diet; HFD, high fat diet; NC, negative control; Pg, Porphyromonas gingivalis. Experiments were performed three times or more with similar results.
