Table 4b. Treatments induced inflammatory cell clusters in mice livers. HFD and Alc+HFD treatments significantly induced large inflammatory cell clusters compared with Chow.
| Treatment |
No. of mice |
Large clusters (>15 cells) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No clusters (0 cells) | Small clusters (1–5 cells) | Intermediate clusters (6–15 cells) | ||
| Chow (n=4) | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Alcohol (n=4) | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| HFD (n=8) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5** |
| Alc+HFD (n=4) | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3* |
Abbreviations: Alc, alcohol; HFD, high fat diet. χ2 analysis and Fisher's exact test comparing numbers of mice with or without clusters. Ordinary one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test; *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
