Supplementary Figure 2: Effect of HSD on mRNA levels of proinflammatory mediators in cerebral microvessels.
From: Dietary salt promotes neurovascular and cognitive dysfunction through a gut-initiated TH17 response
HSD does not induce upregulation of cytokines, adhesion molecules and other proinflammatory molecules in isolated pial microvascular preparations of mice fed a HSD for 12 weeks. IL-6: * p < 0.0411 vs ND, ND/HSD n = 3/5; VCAM1: * p = 0.0102 vs ND, ND/HSD n = 5 mice/group (unpaired t-test, two-tailed). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
