The CCR2 ligand, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was unchanged between KDp and SD rats (Fig. 2M), but CCR2-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-10, IL-17A, and IFN γ were significantly decreased in AAA tissue of KDp rats (p = 0.001, p = 0.03, p < 0.001, and p = 0.002 respectively; Fig. 2N–Q). Here, IL10 is linked to triple-A syndrome.
