WSB/EiJ mice show overall lower circulating inflammatory markers as compared to C57BL/6J mice, with no effect of diet. Compared analysis of main circulating cytokines and inflammatory markers in twelve week-old C57BL/6J and WSB/EiJ male mice either maintained under control feeding (CTRL), or challenged with HFD for the last 3 days of the period (3D) or during the whole 8-week experiment duration (8WK). (A) Interferon gamma (IFN-γ in pg/mL; N = 11–13 per group); (B) Keratinocyte-derived cytokine (KC/GRO in pg/mL; N = 10–14 per group); (C) Interleukin 5 (IL-5 in pg/mL; N = 11–13 per group); (D) Interleukin 10 (IL-10 in pg/mL; N = 10–14 per group); (E) Interleukin 6 (IL-6 in pg/mL; N = 11–12 per group); (F) Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α in pg/mL; N = 11–14 per group); (G) Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β in pg/mL; N = 11–14 per group). (H) Total antioxidant status (TAS in mmol/L; N = 10–12 per group). Graphs represent medians using box and whiskers. Significant differences were indicated by different letters to account for between strain and between diet group differences (P ≤ 0.05; GLM).
