MOS did not affect markers of systemic inflammation. A) Circulating monocytes, Ly6C⁺, Ly6C^low, and Ly6C⁻ monocyte subsets as a percentage of circulating leukocytes, B) plasma IL‐1RA levels, and C) spleen and thymus weight were measured in mice fed a WTD with or without MOS for 14 weeks. Open bars/circles represent the control group and closed bars/circles represent the MOS group. Values are presented as means ± SEM (n = 14–15 mice per group). p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
