Mice fed the HF/HS diet exhibit an accumulation of cholesterol and cholesterol/lipid oxides in eWAT. (a) eWAT total fatty acids in mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS) for 180 days. Mann-Whitney U-test, n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS). HODEs (b) and HETEs (c) were measured by LC-MS/MS in eWAT from mice fed either the chow diet (Std) or the high-fat/high sucrose diet (HF/HS) diet for 180 days. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed using multiple Student’s unpaired t-tests; n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS). ***p < 0.001. The levels of cholesterol (d) and 7-hydroxycholesterols (7-α-hydroxycholesterol, 7α-OH Chol and 7β-hydroxycholestrol, 7-β-OH Chol) (e) in the eWAT of mice fed either the Std or HF/HS diet were measured using GC/MS. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed using multiple Student’s unpaired t-tests; n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS). **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001. (f) eWAT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in the eWAT of mice fed either the Std or HF/HS diet. Data are presented as the means ± s.e.m. and were analysed using multiple Student’s unpaired t-tests, n = 20 (Std) and n = 20 (HF/HS). ***p < 0.001.
