Cardiovascular parameters were measured at two timepoints; the first was performed during the development of obesity, when mice were 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 days of age. The second occurred on days 7, 9, 13, 15, 19, 21, and 30 days post-infection. Measurements were obtained through the non-invasive CODA system (Kent Scientific, Torrington, CT) based on the volume of pressure obtained from the mouse tail26 (link),27 (link).
