Liver weight to body weight ratios and the quantification of BrdU-positive cells per field.

	WT, corn oil	WT, OAT	CAR KO, corn oil	CAR KO, OAT
l/w : b/w ratios (a)	0.0461 ± 0.0028 (3)	0.0476 ± 0.0032 (9)	0.0390 ± 0.0010 (3)	0.0441 ± 0.0027 (9)*
BrdU+ cells, % (b)	0.7809 ±0.4610 (3)	5.3368 ± 2.8209 (9)#	0.5196 ± 0.1134 (3)	0.6543 ± 0.1581 (9)**

Liver weight to body weight ratios ^(a) and BrdU-positive cells (%) ^(b) were measured from 9 or 3 animals (the number is shown in paranthesis) per treatment group, ± SD.

Statistical analysis was performed by a Student’s t-test (CAR KO vs. WT of the same treatment: ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01; OAT vs. corn oil: ^#p<0.05, ^##p<0.01).
