Spleen size and spleen index of mice at the end of the experiment. (a) Comparison of spleen size among the three different groups. (b) Comparison of the spleen index among the three groups (, , one-way ANOVA). Similar to the spleen size, the spleen index in EAT-A mice was significantly increased compared to NC mice ( vs. , , LSD test), and EAT-B mice had a lower spleen index () than EAT-A mice (, LSD test) but higher than that of NC mice (, LSD test).
