Values are represented as means ± SE, number of mice per cohort is stated in parenthesis. CD, control diet; ECMRKO, ECMR knockout; LM, littermate; WD, Western diet. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test were used for statistical analysis.
*P = 0.0002 vs. CD-LM; **P = 0.02 vs. CD-LM; ***P = 0.019 vs. CD-LM.
