TABLE 1.

Pancreatic phenotypes of AIL mice. A total of 734 mice (461 females and 273 males, all from G15‐19) were fed the indicated diets for 6 months, before phenotyping was performed by assessing pancreatic histopathology on a semi‐quantitative scale from 0 (healthy pancreas) to 4 (most severe AIP). The unequal sex distribution is due to (i) the sex ratio at birth (which was in favour of females), and (ii) a higher mortality rate in male mice during the 6 months of the experiment
