FFAR3 deficiency abolishes dietary short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) intake-induced expression change of hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes. Hepatic triglycerides contents (A) and mRNA expression levels of hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes (B) in Ffar3−/− and Ffar2−/− mice (n = 7–8) after 4 weeks of high-fat diet (HFD) feeding supplemented with 5% SCFAs. All data are presented as the means ± SEM. Dunnett’s test; **P < 0.01 and *P < 0.05, compared with HFD.
