aFatty and normal liver samples were generated from C57BL/6 mice fed with western diet or low-fat control diet for 16 weeks, respectively.
bDifferential expression analysis was done using DESeq-2 package in R. Bold: Statistically different from controls (for qPCR analysis: N = 4–6; student two-tailed t-test, p < 0.05; for RNA-seq: N = 4; fold change >1.5; adjusted p < 0.05).
