Table 2.

Blood cell counts.

Parameter Wt Grx2aMacLDLR−/−
Red Blood Cells (10^12/l) 9.3 ± 0.3 9.2 ± 0.2
White Blood Cells (10^9/l) 5.4 ± 0.7 4.1 ± 0.4
  Lymphocytes (%) 90 ± 2 96 ± 1
  Monocytes (%) 3.0 ± 0.7 2.2 ± 0.9
Platelets (10^9/l) 707 ± 69 565 ± 50

After HFD-feeding was complete and LDLR−/− (Wt) and transgenic Grx2aMacLDLR−/− mice (Grx2aMacLDLR−/−) were sacrificed, blood was collected by cardiac puncture. Differential blood cell counts were obtained on an Abaxis VetScan HM2 Complete Blood Count Analyzer as described under Material and Methods. Results are expressed as mean ± SE (n=5 per group).
