Circulating endocrine hormones. (A) BD significantly increased circulating GLP-1. WT-BD vs. WT-LFD and WT-HFD, p < 0.0001; FXRko-HFD vs. FXRko-BD, p < 0.05, and WT-BD vs. FXRko-BD, p < 0.05. (B) HFD enhanced circulating leptin levels in HFD-fed WT mice, but not in HFD-fed FXRko mice. WT-LFD vs. WT-HFD, p < 0.01; and WT-HFD vs. WT-BD, p < 0.05. (C) BD decreased circulating resistin in both HFD-fed WT and FXRko mice, but not statistically significant (p > 0.05). (D) to (F), there were no statistical differences among groups (p > 0.05). N = 5 per group.
