Extended Data Fig. 2

a, Body weight over 40weeks on Ctrl (black, n = 6) and DT (red, n = 6) mice in random fed (RF, continuous line) and fasting (F, dashed line). Right panel: Area under the curve (AUC). P-values (DTvsCtrl): RF P = 0.3312, F P = 0.3939. b, Body composition in Ctrl (black, n = 8) and DT (red, n = 8) mice. P-values CtrlvsDT: Lean mass P = 0.7209, Fat mass P = 0.083. c, Immunofluorescence on SST (red) in stomach (upper micrographs) and GLP-1 (red) in colon (lower micrographs) from Ctrl or β-only mice. Scale bar: 20 µm or 10 µm (insets). d, Duodenum qPCR of Sst of Ctrl (black, n = 4) and β-only mice at 7 dpa (pink, n = 7), 15 dpa (light red, n = 7), and 30 dpa (red, n = 6). Data are normalized ct values relative to β-actin and Gapdh and shown as relative hormone expression to Ctrl. P-values: 7 dpa vs Ctrl P = 0.0061, 15 dpa vs Ctrl P = 0.0606, 30 dpa vs Ctrl P = > 0.999. e, Plasma somatostatin in Ctrl (n = 16) and β-only after 15 dpa (pink, n = 8) and 30 dpa (red, n = 8). P-values: 15 dpa vs Ctrl P = 0.0016, 30 dpa vs Ctrl P = 0.1090, 30 dpa vs 15 dpa P = 0.0468. f, Brain qPCR on Sst of Ctrl (black, n = 4) and β-only (red, n = 6). Data are normalized ct values relative to β-actin and Gapdh and shown as relative hormone expression to Ctrl. P-values Ctrl vs DT: P = 0.0095. g, Brain somatostatin of Ctrl (n = 8) and β-only (n = 7). P-values: DT vs Ctrl P = 0.0128. h-j, Food intake (h; gr/gr), total movement (i; counts, infrared breaks in 15 minutes) and running wheel activity (j) in Ctrl (black, n = 9) and DT (red, n = 7). Right panel: AUC. Food intake (h) P-value (CtrlvsDT): light period P = 0.2523; dark period P = 0.6065; 24 h P = 0.4079. Total movement (i) P-value (CtrlvsDT): light period P = 0.2105; dark period P = 0.8371; 24 h period P = 0.7577. Running wheel (j) P-value (CtrlvsDT): light period P = > 0.99; dark period P = 0.9182; 24 h period P = > 0.99. Only male mice were used. All data are shown as mean ± sem. All statistical tests are two-tailed Mann-Whitney test. Source data is available.
