Mice were used in accordance with the protocol approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Augusta University. The floxed Pfkfb3 (Pfkfb3flox/flox) mice were generated by Xenogen Biosciences Corporation (Cranbury, NJ, USA) (14 (link)). Myeloid-specific Pfkfb3 knockout was achieved by cross-breeding Pfkfb3flox/flox mice with Lysm-Cre mice (stock no. 004781, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) to generate Pfkfb3flox/flox; Lysm-Cre (Pfkfb3ΔMϕ) mice. All mice were on a C57BL/6J background.
