Knockout mice have increased proinflammatory gene expression. (A-H) Relative hepatic mRNA levels in control and knockout mice for the genes Il6, Ifng, cyclooxygenase 2, nitric oxide synthase 2, macrophage galactose N-acetyl-galactosamine specific lectin 2, resistin like alpha, Cd68 and Ly6g (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 compared with control mice at the same time; n = 4–7). Abbreviations: Cox2, cyclooxygenase 2; Ifng, interferon-γ; Mgl2, macrophage galactose N-acetyl-galactosamine specific lectin 2; Nos2, nitric oxide synthase 2; Retnla, resistin like alpha.
