Abstract

Background and Aims: Macrophages contribute to the induction and resolution of inflammation and play a central role in the chronic low-grade inflammation in cardiovascular diseases caused by atherosclerosis.

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a specific HMO attenuates atherosclerosis low-grade macrophage inflammation and atherosclerosis development in mice.
