Effects of EAE and CS on blood chemistry parameters. Levels or activities of serum biochemical markers (a) total protein, (b) albumin, (c) globulin, (d) alkaline phosphatase, (e) alanine aminotransferase, (f) glucose, (g) total cholesterol, (h) triglyceride, and (i) creatinine are presented as mean ± SD. Sham (S) = white bars, CS Low (L) = light grey bars, CS Med (M) = dark grey bars, CS High (H) = black bars. Statistically significant effects are summarized in Table 2. n = 8 mice per group, except n = 7 in the 6-week CS Low, n = 10 in the 6-week CS Med, and n = 9 in the 6-week CS High groups (Supplemental Table 1). CS: cigarette smoke; EAE: experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis; SD: standard deviation.
