Figure Lengend Snippet: Recombinant IL-27 inhibited the progression of atherosclerosis. (a), (b), and (c), Representative photomicrographs show Oil Red O and hematoxylin stained aortic root sections from groups treated with IL-27, anti-IL-27p28-Ab, or PBS for another 8 weeks after 8 weeks of western diet consumption, respectively. (g) Data from group (a), (b), and (c) are shown. A black bar represents 200 μ m. (d, e, f), representative photomicrographs show Oil Red O stained the descending aortas from groups treated with IL-27, anti-IL-27p28-Ab, or PBS for another 8 weeks after 8 weeks of western diet consumption, respectively. (h) Data from group (d), (e), and (f) are shown. ∗∗∗ P < 0.001, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗ P < 0.05.
Article Snippet: Groups A, B, and C received intraperitoneal injections of recombinant IL-27 (BioLegend, San Diego, CA; 500 ng every three days), an anti-IL-27p28 antibody (anti-IL-27p28-Ab; eBioscience, San Diego, CA; 50 μ g every three days), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (0.1 mL every three days) for 8 weeks, while groups D, E, and F started treatment after 8 weeks of Western-type diet consumption and were treated for 8 weeks.
