Project description:Mice were fed Se-deficient or Se-adequate diets for 6 weeks. Liver and lung tissue were harvested and processed for RNA-Seq, ribosome profiling, and microarray analysis. From these studies, we identified changes in mRNA levels and translation of selenoprotein genes and genes regulated by interferon-gamma. Cytokine profiles of serum indicated that interferon-gamma and IL-6 levels were increased in the Se-adequate mice relative to Se-deficient mice.

Project description:DNA microarray analysis was employed to analyze hepatic gene expression in mice that were protected against HF-induced obesity and liver steatosis (ie HF diets supplemented with lingonberries, blackcurrants or bilberries) and compare to mice who were not protected (HF control) or even experienced increased obesity and fatty liver (HF diet with açai). The study was done to increase understanding of underlying mechanisms of the observed effects.
Project description:A diet rich in nucleic acids and protamin protein, termed as nucleoprotein was used for the study. Mice were fed with NP diets for 4 weeks followed by removal of the liver and spleen. Total RNA extracted from livers and spleens was pooled in each group (low NP or LNP-control, and 1.2% NP-treatment, diets), prior to DNA microarray analysis (Agilent mouse whole genome 4 x 44K). Results revealed 1373 & 3386 up (>1.5 fold)- and down (<0.75 fold)-regulated genes in the liver, and 252 & 1838 up- and down-regulated genes in the spleen, respectively following 1.2%NP diet. Analysis of genes related to NP diets will be discussed.

Project description:Dietary lipids and gut microbiota may both influence adipose tissue physiology. By feeding conventional and germ-free mice high fat diets with different lipid compositon we aimed to investigate how dietary lipids and the gut microbiota interact to influence inflammation and metabolism in the liver Wild-type C57Bl/6 male mice 11 weeks of age were fed isocaloric diets (45% kcal fat) with either menhaden fish oil (Research Diets, D05122102) or lard (Research Diets, D10011202) for 11 weeks. Liver samples were harvested at the end of the experiment and analyzed by microarray.
