Scores of four health categories for alternative diets relative to the American diet in each strain. Health scores indicate cumulative health effects of alternative diets relative to the American diet for four categories: body composition (lean mass, fat mass, and percent body fat), lipid profile (HDL, LDL, and plasma triglycerides), glucose metabolism (fasted glucose, fasted insulin, and GTT), and liver health (liver triglycerides, ALT). A positive score represents improved health and a negative score represents diminished health. Scores and 95% C.I.s are shown for (a) A, (b) B6, (c) FVB, and (d) NOD . (e) The data are also represented in a heat map for comparison, with red showing improved health scores relative to the American diet. A, A/J strain mice; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; B6, C57BL/6J strain mice; FVB, FVB/NJ strain mice; GTT, glucose tolerance test; HDL high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; NOD, NOD/ShiLtJ strain mice.
