From: Western diet enhances hepatic inflammation in mice exposed to cecal ligation and puncture
Intravital microscopy. Six hours after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) mice from each dietary group were subjected to intravital microscopic analysis of leukocyte and platelet adhesion in terminal hepatic venules. A total of 3 vessels in each mouse were recorded for off-line determinations. Cells were considered adherent if they were stationary for more than 10 sec of the 1 min observation period. Data are presented as mean SEM of at least 5 mice/group. Statistical analysis was performed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparisons test. *p < 0.05 compared to diet-matched sham controls; #p < 0.05 compared to corresponding CD-fed mice exposed to CLP.
