Figure 2: Responsiveness of microglia and placental CD11b+ cells to immune challenge in the setting of maternal obesity.

Figure 2:

Maternal obesity is associated with significantly increased pro-inflammatory response to LPS by both brain microglia and placental CD11b+ cells. Sex-stratified analyses demonstrate that only obesity-exposed males have a statistically significant increase in TNF-α production in response to LPS.
