A, Quantification of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 at the acute phase and (B) 12 wk after aortic injury (n=6–9/group). C, Flow cytometric quantification of blood monocytes (n=4–6/group). D, Pie charts show the relative proportion of Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo monocytes in all the groups at different time points (n=4–6/group). Data were represented as mean±SEM. For multiple-group comparisons, data were analyzed with a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA with Dunn post hoc test. HFD indicates high-fat diet; hi, high; and lo, low. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001.
