Omega-9 Oleic Acid, the Main Compound of Olive Oil, Mitigates Inflammation during Experimental Sepsis

Figure 5

Omega-9 reduced leukocyte rolling in mice submitted to CLP. Fluorescent intravital microscopy images showing leukocyte-endothelium interaction in the cerebral postcapillary venules after 24 h of sepsis in mice (a). Animals were treated with vehicle (CLP) or omega-9 (omega-9 + CLP) compared to sham operated pretreated with vehicle (sham) or omega-9 (omega-9 + sham) mice. Rolling of leukocytes in the microvasculature was expressed as number of cells per minute (b). Data indicate mean ± SEM, 5 mice per group. versus the sham group; versus the CLP group.
