Expression data from Bama minipig hearts - high-fat, high-sucrose diet

ABSTRACT: In order to study the heart disorder that the long term, high energy diet caused, Bama miniature pigs were fed a high-fat, high-sucrose diet for 23 months. These pigs developed symptoms of metabolic syndrome and showed cardiac steatosis and hypertrophy with a greatly increased heart weight (1.82-fold, P<0.05) and heart volume (1.60-fold, P<0.05) compared with the control pigs. To understand the molecular mechanisms of cardiac steatosis and hypertrophy, nine pig heart cRNA samples were hybridized to porcine GeneChips. The control group consisted of 6 Bama pigs fed a control diet, and the HFHSD group comprised 6 pigs that were induced with a HFHS diet, which included 37% sucrose, 53% control diet and 10% pork lard. The pigs were fed twice every day and provided water ad libitum for 23 months
