High-Fat Meal–Induced Changes in Markers of Inflammation and Angiogenesis in Healthy Adults Who Differ by Age and Physical Activity Level

Figures

• 

  FIGURE 1. Markers of inflammation at baseline and postmeal. Concentrations of inflammatory markers in plasma from baseline/fasting (time 0) to 3 h and 6 h post-HFM. Data were analyzed with a 2-factor (group × time) repeated-measures ANOVA with post hoc pairwise comparisons. Data are mean ± SEM. *Significantly different from baseline (main effect of time). ^Significantly different from 3 h postmeal, but not baseline (main effect of time). GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; HFM, high-fat meal; OA, older active; OI, older inactive; YA, younger active.

Data were analyzed with a 2-factor (group × time) repeated-measures ANOVA with post hoc pairwise comparisons. Data are mean ± SEM. *Significantly different from baseline (main effect of time). G-CSF, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor; HB-EGF, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor–like growth factor; HFM, high-fat meal; HGF, hepatocyte growth factor; OA, older active; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; YA, younger active.
