Transcription profiling of mouse liver from animals that vary in adiposity and insulin sensitivity

ABSTRACT: Adipose tissue gene expression was profiled from perigonadal adipose tissue of mice whose body mass and insulin sensitivity varied as a function of diet, gender, monogenic mutations and insulin sensitizing therapies. Mice were 22-24 weeks of age and sacrificed between 2-3 hours into the light portion of a 12/12 dark-light cycle. The goal was to identify transcripts whose adipose tissue expression is correlated with adiposity, insulin sensitivity and other measures of metabolic function. Experiment Overall Design: Mice on the C57BL/6J strain were housed in groups of 3-5 and fed ad libitum. 2-4 days prior to collection of adipose tissue fasting blood glucose and serum insulin concentrations were measured. Mice were sacrificed 2-3 hours into the light cycle. RNA was extracted from perigona
