Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal’s policy and we have the following conflicts: Drs. Sandoval, Seeley, Woods, and D’Alessio receive funding from Ethicon Endo-Surgeries. Dr. Seeley currently has stock/stock options with Zafgen and consults for Zafgen, Eli Lilly and Ethicon Endo-Surgeries. Dr. Sandoval has received grant support from Roche, Mannkind, and Ethicon Endosurgery. Dr. D’Alessio has grant funding from Mannkind. The remaining authors disclose no conflicts. This does not alter the authors’ adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. None of the above research funding was used to support this study.
