F. prausnitzii attenuates local and systemic inflammation. a Representative fluorescence staining of macrophages and quantitative analysis of CD68-positive staining in the aortic sinus (6 samples per group). b Representative fluorescence staining of macrophages and quantitative analysis of MCP-1–positive staining in the aortic sinus (5 samples per group). c mRNA levels in the atherosclerotic aorta. The data were normalized to the housekeeping gene β-actin (6 samples per group). d and e The circulating levels of TNF-α, MCP-1, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor II (sTNFR II), and adiponectin (ADP) were measured via ELISAs (10 samples per group). The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. All P values were determined by two independent sample t tests
