Expression data from porcine diaphragm and Psoas major tissue of Iberian males and females fed with two feeding levels

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to identify genes, gene clusters and networks involved in sexual dimorphism and in the response to nutritional restriction in porcine skeletal muscles, through the analysis of gene expression differences. Full sib Iberian piglets from three litters composed of two males and two females per family were randomly assigned to two dietary treatments which differed in the feeding level during 15 wk. At the end of the trial, 27 wk of age, significant phenotypic differences were detected between genders and between feeding levels for growth, fatness, fatty acid composition and primary cuts weights. RNA samples from two skeletal muscles, diaphragm and Psoas major, were hybridized with Affymetrix microarrays and the expression data were analyzed using a mixed model and a F
