Data are mean ± SD. White squares are <i>wt</i> mice fed SCD; Black squares are <i>dusp2^−/−</i> mice fed SCD; White circles are <i>wt</i> mice fed HFD; Black circles are <i>dusp2^−/−</i> mice fed HFD. For male mice, Ns are 5, 8, 8 and 8, for <i>wt</i> SCD, <i>dusp2^−/−</i> SCD, <i>wt</i> HFD and <i>dusp2^−/−</i> HFD, respectively. For female mice Ns are 9, 8, 7 and 7 for <i>wt</i> SCD, <i>dusp2^−/−</i> SCD, <i>wt</i> HFD and <i>dusp2^−/−</i> HFD, respectively.
