Expression profiling of the effect of high-fat diet, low-fat diet, CR and exercise on mice liver

ABSTRACT: Dietary interventions are effective ways to extend or shorten lifespan. By examining midlife hepatic gene expressions in mice under different dietary conditions, which resulted in different lifespans and aging-related phenotypes, we were able to identify genes and pathways that modulate the aging process. We found that pathways transcriptionally correlated with diet-modulated lifespan and physiological changes were enriched for lifespan-modifying genes. Male C57BL/6J mice at 4 weeks of age were purchased from Shanghai Animal Co, Ltd. Mice were maintained under a 12-hour dark/light cycle (lights on at 6:30 am) at a temperature of 22 ± 3 °C in accredited animal facilities. Prior to the start of experiment, mice were maintained on a low-fat diet (Research Diets Inc., New Brunswick, NJ) for on
