Effect of Ileal Transposition (IT) on Angiopoietin-Like Protein-8 (ANGPTL8) and Pentraxin (PTX3) Plasma Level in Sprague-Dawley Rats Fed High-Fat Diet (HFD)

Figure 2

Median of ANGPTL8 plasma concentration in four diet groups according to operation type. Abbreviations: IT—ileal transposition, SHAM—sham operated animals, CD—control diet, and HFD—high-fat diet. Preoperative diet/postoperative diet: CD/HFD, CD/CD, HFD/HFD, HFD/CD (group size: n = 6, except IT HFD/HFD: n = 5). Sign or denotes significant difference between median values; Kruskal–Wallis test, . Quartile deviation (Q25 and Q75) available in Supplementary Materials.
