(E) Circulating lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes in peripheral blood from mice on HFD as detected by white blood cell differential. Data points represent biological replicates, error bars are shown as mean +/- SEM, and statistical analyses were performed with 2-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD test for more than two groups or Student’s t-test for comparing two groups; p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.
