Results are expressed as percentage of positive cells (%) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (mean ± SD; ). values were calculated by one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test. 7oxo-C: 7-oxo-cholesterol; NS: no significance. CD16 MFI: ctr M1 versus ctr M2, ; CD163 %: ctr M1 versus ctr M2, .
: indicate the statistical significant difference between numbers with the same symbol.
