Effect of ESM on circulatory markers of inflammation. Measures of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) (A), serum amyloid A (SAA) (B), and interleukin (IL)-1β (C) after eight weeks on a high-fat diet (HFD) with or without ESM. Values are reported as mean ± SEM (n = 15 per group). CTL = control; ESM = egg sphingomyelin; IL-1β = interleukin-1-beta; MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; SAA = serum amyloid A.
