Transcription profiling of mouse livers from animals fed four different diets

ABSTRACT: Beyond the DNA sequence difference between humans and closely related apes, there are large differences in the environments that these species experience. One prominent example for this is diet. The human diet diverges from those of other primates in various aspects, such as having a high calorie and protein content, as well as being cooked. Here, we used a laboratory mouse model to identify gene expression differences related to dietary differences. Experiment Overall Design: We fed four groups of six genetically identical 8-week-old female NMR1 mice one of four diets ad libidum: (1) a diet consisting of vegetables, fruit and yogurt identical to the diet fed to chimpanzees in our ape facility ('Chimpanzee'); (2) a diet consisting exclusively of McDonalds. fast food ('FastFood'); (3) a die
