Project description:The present study aimed to examine the effect of high-fat diet prior to pregnancy on the liver of mouse offspring. Female C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal chow (15.2% fat by energy) (CTR and CTR-PP groups) or a high-fat chow (31.2% fat by energy) (HFD and HFD-PP groups) for 3−4 weeks and then mated with male C57BL/6J mice fed normal chow. Some mothers continued on the same diet until pups reached 21 days of age (CTR and HFD), and others were fed the different chows from gestational day 0 (CTR-PP and HFD-PP) to determine the effects of a high-fat diet during the pre-pregnancy period in HFD-PP/CTR and HFD/CTR-PP comparisons.

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the obesity-related gene expression profiles between bone marrow adipocytes and peripheral white adipocytes from obese mice fed with high fat diet and leptin deficient mice Alterations of gene expression with high fat diet and in mice lacking leptin were analyzed in bone marrow and peripheral white adipocytes isolated from C57BL/6J male mice using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Bone marrow adipocytes and peripheral white adipocytes (n=6-10 animals per group) were isolated from male C57BL/6J mice (6-months, 14-months ) fed with either standard chow or a high fat diet containg 60% calories from fat. Samples were grouped into diet (standard chow vs. high fat diet) and age (6-month (6M), 14-month (14M) and 18-month (18M)).
Project description:Analysis of liver gene transcription during feeding of a ketogenic diet. Ketogenic diets may alter physiologic and metabolic profiles in a direction that favors weight loss. C57BL/6J mice were maintained for six weeks on either chow or ketogenic diet. Mice eating KD had lower weights, 90% reduction in insulin levels and increased energy expenditure compared to animals fed chow. Despite consumpiton of a very high fat diet serum lipids remained normal. Here we show that consumption of KD shifted liver metabolism to drastically increased fatty acid oxidation. Concurrently, expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis were markedly suppressed. Keywords: Hepatic profile
Project description:We compared the transcriptome of Suprachiasmatic Nucleus in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet or normal chow through an entire circadian cycle: 6 time points (TP) every four hours.
Project description:Two-month-old C57BL/6J male mice were placed on either chow diet or a diet enriched in high fat, cholesterol, and fructose (Research diet D09100301: 40 kcal% fat, 2% cholesterol, 20 kcal% fructose, HFCF diet) for 1 or 3 months. RNA-seq was used to analyze hepatic gene expression from mice on 1-month chow diet, 1-month HFCF diet, 3-month chow diet, and 3-month HFCF.
Project description:High fat diets (HFDs) are linked to several diseases including obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in both mouse and humans. RNA-seq from male mice (C57BL/6N) fed Vivarium Chow (VIV) or any one of three high fat diets (40% kcal fat) (SO+CO, PL+CO, CO) for 24 weeks was performed on four segments of the intestinal tract (Duodenum, Jejunum, Terminal Ileum and Proximal Colon).
Project description:The lack of a preclinical model of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular cancer (HCC) that recapitulates human disease is a major barrier to therapeutic development. We report a high fat-high sugar diet-induced NASH and HCC in a stable isogenic 129S1/SvImJ crossed with C57Bl/6J mice. Following diet initiation, there was sequential development of steatosis (4-8 weeks), steatohepatitis with ballooning and Mallory-Denk bodies (12-16 weeks), progressive fibrosis (16 week onwards) and spontaneous HCC (32-52 weeks). The mice developed obesity, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. There was concordance with the human NASH transcriptome (FDR 0.001) with activation of lipogenic, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways relevant in humans. The HCC gene signature resembled S1 and S2 human HCC subclass (FDR 0.01 for both). This simple model of NASH and HCC that resembles human disease in terms of its triggers, physiological and biochemical parameters, histology, transcriptomic profile, and outcomes can facilitate preclinical development for these conditions. 129S1/SvImJ;C57Bl/6J (129/B6) mice were fed with high-fat diet (Western Diet) and high fructose-glucose solution (Sugar Water) (WD SW) or chow diet (CD) for 52 weeks, and total RNA samples were isolated from liver and tumor tissues for genome-wide expression profiling.

Project description:High sugar consumption, as well as high-fat diet, is a known cause of obesity and metabolic syndrome. However, the synergistic effect of high-sugar and high-fat consumption rarely has been evaluated, especially in terms of transcriptional regulation. Therefore, we focused on the effect of high sugar consumption on hepatic transcriptional networks in normal and high fat-fed mice. C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups and were provided either 23%(w/v) sugar solution or plain water with either high-fat or normal-fat diet for 10 weeks. As a result, high sugar consumption significantly altered lipid metabolism-related genes in normal fat-fed mice; however, in high fat-fed mice, high sugar consumption altered inflammation-responsive genes rather than lipid metabolism. After all, these modulations eventually increased lipid accumulation in the liver and caused systemic metabolic disturbances. These observations for the first time suggested that high sugar consumption along with high-fat diet could lead to the development of severe metabolic syndrome via altering hepatic transcriptional networks.
