Figure 5

A representative plot for mixed effect regression analysis associating liver patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) to liver triglyceride (TG) content. Liver PNPLA3 was negatively associated (β = − 0.31; P = 0.03) with liver TG when controlling for experimental design factors, including treatment, days relative to calving (DRTC), the interaction of treatment and time, and block effects. Magnitude of liver PNPLA3 abundance effect on liver TG content is represented by trendlines for the linear predictor within DRTC.
