Increased IGF-I mRNA levels in femoral artery and elevated serum IL-6 and cholesterol concentrations in female LI-IGF-I−/− mice. Male and female LI-IGF-I−/− and control mice (n = 9–16/group) received an atherogenic (modified Paigen) diet from 6 months of age. a IGF-I mRNA levels in femoral artery and b hepatic triglyceride content at the end of the study in female and male mice. c IL-6, and d cholesterol, in serum before the start of the modified Paigen diet (baseline) and after 2 weeks of the diet in female mice. Values are given as means (SEM). p values were calculated using unpaired t tests
