immune system
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit a higher degree of inflammation in epididymal fat than controls on the same diet
• Western diet-fed mice treated with antibiotic show decreased adipose tissue inflammation
• cultured cochleae stimulated with LPS pulsed with ATP do not secrete IL-1beta like in wild-type cochlea

adipose tissue
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit a greater increase in body fat mass than controls on the same diet
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit a higher degree of inflammation in epididymal fat than controls on the same diet
• Western diet-fed mice treated with antibiotic show decreased adipose tissue inflammation

cellular
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit increased ROS production, indicating increased oxidative stress

digestive/alimentary system
• mice fed a Western diet show a higher increase in bacterial growth of mesenteric lymph node cultures, indicating increased bacterial translocation through the gut barrier and impaired gut barrier
• Western diet-fed mice treated with antibiotic show lowered bacterial growth in cultured lymph nodes, indicating reduced bacterial translocation
• mice fed a Western diet show a greater gut microbiota dysbiosis than controls on the same diet

growth/size/body
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit a greater increase in body fat mass than controls on the same diet
• mice fed a Western diet (high-fat with fructose in the drinking water) gain more weight than controls on the same diet, despite a progressive reduction in the caloric intake/body weight ratio
• Western diet-fed mice treated with antibiotic exhibit reduced weight gain
• mice fed a Western diet show increased liver-to-body weight ratio

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice fed a Western diet show reduced total energy expenditure
• mice fed a Western diet (high-fat with fructose in the drinking water) gain more weight than controls on the same diet, despite a progressive reduction in the caloric intake/body weight ratio
• Western diet-fed mice treated with antibiotic exhibit reduced weight gain
• liver triglyceride levels are increased in mice fed a Western diet
• Western die-fed mice treated with antibiotic show decreased hepatic triglyceride accumulation
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit a higher hepatic lipid uptake

liver/biliary system
• mice fed a Western diet exhibit more severe liver injury than controls, showing increased expression of TLR4, TLR5, and TLR9, F4/80, MCP-1, and type I collagen
• mice fed a Western diet show increased liver-to-body weight ratio
• liver triglyceride levels are increased in mice fed a Western diet
• Western die-fed mice treated with antibiotic show decreased hepatic triglyceride accumulation
• mice fed a Western diet show higher levels of micro and macrovesicular steatosis than controls
