ER in Liver - 2

ABSTRACT: Liver transcriptome was analyzed at proestrus (P) and metestrus (M) in liver IGF-1-/- or LID mice. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying ER control of liver metabolic function, we investigated the genetic programs controlled by the hepatic receptor during the physiological fluctuation of circulating E2 in adult female mice. To this aim, we used Affymetrix GeneChip Arrays and compared the expression of hepatic genes in mice in two phases of the estrous cycle: Proestrus (P) and Metestrus (M), characterized by high and low circulating E2 respectively. Analysis of data demonstrated that the expression of genes involved in lipid and cholesterol metabolism changes during the reproductive cycle. To further elucidate ER transcriptional activity at M and P, we performed a whole genome ChIP
