Article Snippet: Different factors can impact AMP expression in the murine small intestine. (a, b, c) Schematic experimental setup of the dietary intervention experiments: (a) Intervention 1, male Charles River mice fed a chow or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 8 weeks; (b) Intervention 2, male and female Charles River mice fed a chow or a Western-style diet (WSD) for 8 weeks; (c) Intervention 3, male and female Taconic mice fed a chow or a WSD for 8 weeks. (d) Total amounts of all measured AMP transcripts in the ileum of all mice fed a chow, WSD, or HFD. (e) Total amounts of all measured AMP transcripts in the ileum of male and female mice fed a chow or WSD from interventions 2 and 3. (f) Reg3g transcript copy number in the ileum of chow and WSD fed mice from interventions 2 and 3. (g) Total amounts of all measured AMP transcripts in the ileum of male Charles River or Taconic mice fed a chow or a WSD. (h) Reg3g transcript copy number in the ileum of male Charles River or Taconic mice fed a chow or a WSD. (i) Total amounts of all measured AMP transcripts in the ileum of female Charles River or Taconic mice fed a chow or a WSD. (j) Reg3g transcript copy number in the ileum of female Charles River or Taconic mice fed a chow or a WSD. (k) Principal component analysis (PCoA) evaluating the effect of diet, mouse vendor, sex, or intervention on AMP expression in mice from the dietary interventions.
