Expression data from human skeletal muscle

ABSTRACT: Insulin is a potent pleiotropic hormone that affects processes such as cellular growth, differentiation, apoptosis, ion flux, energy expenditure, and carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the influence of insulin in human skeletal muscle collected from different human individuals including 20 insulin sensitive, 20 insulin resistant and 15 diabetic patients. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during these processes. The pathophysiology of obesity represents an imbalance between a high energy intake and/or low energy expenditure. Resting energy expenditure (REE) comprises 60-75% of total energy expenditure. The respiratory quotient (RQ) is used to estimate fuel partiti
