Variance statistic is SD. Glucose tolerance testing (GTT) was not performed on control mice at the same time as the other 3 treatment groups. ALIOS, American Lifestyle-Induced Obesity Syndrome; HFCS, high-fructose corn syrup; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AUC, area under the curve. Superscript letters denote significant differences among the treatment groups (i.e., there is no difference among values annotated with the same letter), P < 0.05 by ANOVA.
