PQQ attenuates recruitment of inflammatory macrophages and LPS‐induced activation of BMDMs. (A) Percent abundance of FACS‐sorted hepatic macrophage populations obtained from CH, WD, and WDPQQ‐fed offspring at 12 weeks. (B) mRNA expression levels of proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in liver. Endogenous normalization was to 18S rRNA and Gapdh. (C) mRNA expression levels of proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in BMDMs stimulated with or without LPS for 24 hours. Endogenous normalization was to 18S rRNA and Gapdh. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 4/group. Mann‐Whitney U test was used to compare groups pairwise. ***P < 0.001 compared with WD. Abbreviations: FACS, fluorescence‐activated cell sorting; mRNA, messenger RNA; n.s., not significant; rRNA, ribosomal RNA.
