Project description:Specific pathogen free wild-type C57Bl/6 male mice fed ketogenic diet (Bio-Serv AIN-76-A) for 4 weeks Keywords: RNA Expression Array Hearts from 12 week-old mice that were maintained on a standard polysacchardide-rich chow until the age of 8 weeks, at which time they were switched to a ketogenic diet (ad libitum) and maintained for 4 additional weeks prior to collection of tissues
Project description:The ketogenic diet has long been used to treat epilepsy, but its mechanism is not yet clearly understood. To explore the potential mechanism, the changes in gene expression induced by the ketogenic diet in the rat kainic acid (KA) epilepsy model were analyzed. Two-condition experiment, Normal diet-fed rat brain vs. Ketogenic diet-fed rat brain. Duplicate per array
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 consumption 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. Reference: A high fat, ketogenic diet induces a unique metabolic state in mice.

Experiment Overall Design: Eight week old C57BL/6 mice were fed either chow (Labdiet 5008, Pharmserv) or KD (F3666, Bio-Serv) for six weeks. Livers were harvested in the morning in ad lib fed animals. Total RNA from 2-3 animals in each group was used for Affymetrix analysis.

Project description:The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is produced during dietary restriction, fasting, and exercise. A ketogenic diet (KD) results in long-term production of BHB outside of these contexts. We sought to determine a protein-matched, non-obese ketogenic diet (KD) would affect the longevity and healthspan of C57BL/6 male mice. We find that feeding KD every-other-week to prevent obesity (cyclic KD) reduces mid-life mortality but does not affect maximum lifespan. Similar feeding of a non-ketogenic high-fat/low-carbohydrate (HF) diet may have an intermediate effect on mortality. Cyclic KD improves memory performance in old age, while modestly improving composite measures of healthspan. RNAseq gene expression analysis identifies down-regulation of insulin, TOR, and fatty acid synthesis pathways as possible longevity mechanisms common to KD and HF. However, up-regulation of fasting-related PPARα target genes is unique to KD, consistent across tissues, and preserved in old age, suggesting a mechanism for an incremental benefit from KD. In all, we show that a non-obese ketogenic diet improves survival, memory, and healthspan into old age. These gene expression studies were carried out on 12 month-old male C56BL/6 mice from the NIA Aged Rodent Colony, habituated to AIN-93M control diet and then either maintained on this diet or switched for one week to a 75% kcal fat non-ketogenic high-fat diet or a 90% kcal fat ketogenic diet (all diets with 10% kcal from carbohydrates). Tissues were harvested in the middle of the nighttime feeding period (MN-3am).
Project description:There are 10 mice in the experiment, named REC. The mice were fed with high salt diets (5% NaCl) for 4 weeks and then fed with normal salt diets for 4 weeks. Then extracted DNA from mice gastric flora to detect changes in the gastric flora of mice.
Project description:purpose?To elucidate the relationship of utilization different type of diets in fish method?enzyme activity determination and transcriptome sequencing were performed in common carp fed with single animal diet group (group AD), plant diet group (group PD) and mix diets group (group MD). Group MD as control group results? 916 and 1296 differentially expressed genes were identified between group AD vs MD and PD vs MD. Protein digestion and absorption, bile secretion, hematopoietic cell lineage and intestinal immune network for IgA production pathways were significantly differentially expressed between common carp fed with single type of diet and mix diets. Conclusion?common carp fed with mix diets had stronger immunity than common carp fed with single type of diets.
