a 8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were fed with either low C18:2 (2%, w/w) or high C18:2 (12%, w/w) diet for 8 weeks. CD4+ T cells were isolated from liver and spleen. CPT levels were measured by RT-qPCR. b 8-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were fed with MCD diet or control diet (CTR) for 4 weeks. CD4+ T cells were isolated from liver and spleen. CPT levels were measured by RT-qPCR. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
