Project description:The effect of high fat diet feeding on liver gene transcription regulation was investigated in C57BL/6J mice using Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Expression data was determined in 5 months old male mice fed a high fat diet (40% fat) for 15 weeks. Control mice were fed a standard carbohydrate chow. Six animals per group were used.
Project description:The effect of high fat diet feeding on adipose tissue gene transcription regulation was investigated in C57Bl/6J mice using Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Expression profiling was determined in 5 months old male mice showing heterogeneous metabolic, hormonal and behavioral adaptation to high fat diet (40% fat) feeding for 15 weeks. Control mice were fed a standard carbohydrate chow. Six animals per group were used.
Project description:The effect of high fat diet feeding on liver gene transcription regulation was investigated in BALB/c mice using Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Expression data was determined in 5 months old male mice fed a high fat diet (40% fat) for 15 weeks. Control mice were fed a standard carbohydrate chow. Six animals per group were used.
Project description:Chytridiomycosis is an emerging infectious disease of amphibians caused by the chytrid Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). The disease has been associated with global amphibian declines and is driving the species in the wild to extinction. Using DNA microarray technology we have analysed transcriptional changes in Xenopus tropicalis during the course (7 and 42 days) of infection by Bd under warm (26oC) and cold (18oC) temperatures.
