    Bio-Rad primary antibodies against cd68
    A. Eight-week-old male and female Apoe −/− mice were fed an AMLN diet for 20 weeks to induce atherosclerosis. Fat mass, lean mass and random blood glucose were measured at endpoint (n = 9-10/group). Fat mass and lean mass were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test and random blood glucose was analyzed by unpaired t test. B. Glucose tolerance tests at week 13 (n = 9-10/group). Area under curve (AUC) comparison between sex were performed using Mann-Whitney test. Insulin tolerance tests at week 14 (n = 9-10/group). AUC comparison was analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. C. Serum lipid profiles (TC, TG, LDL, HDL) and Liver TC and TG were measured at endpoint (n = 9-10/group). unpaired t test was used in the data analyzation. D. Blood cell composition was measured at endpoint (n = 8-10/group). Gran% and Lym% were analyzed by unpaired t test. Mon% was analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. E. Aortic en face Oil Red O staining and plaque quantification (n = 9-10/group). Scale bar: 1 mm. unpaired t test was used in the data analyzation. F. Aortic sinus sections Oil Red O staining and plaque area quantification (n = 9-10/group). Scale bar: 250 μm. unpaired t test was used in the data analyzation. HE staining of aortic sinus sections and necrotic core area quantification (n = 7-10/group). Main panel scale bar: 500 μm; inset: 62.5 μm. unpaired t test was used in the data analyzation. Masson’s trichrome staining of aortic sinus sections and collagen content quantification (n = 5/group). Scale bar: 500 μm. unpaired t test was used in the data analyzation. <t>CD68</t> immunofluorescence staining of aortic sinus sections and macrophage infiltration quantification (n = 9-10/group). Scale bar: 250 μm. Mann-Whitney test was used in the data analyzation. All N numbers given represent biological replicates.
