Project description:The overall objective of the heritage project is to study the role of the genotype in cardiovascular,metabolic and hormonal responses to aerobic exercise training and the contribution of regular exercise to changes in several cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk factors. PLEASE NOTE THE POST-TRAINING GENE CHIP FILES HAVE NEVER BEEN RELEASED ON GEO. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT DUE TO THE OUTDATED INSULIN ASSAY UTILISED IN THE HERITAGE STUDY, THE INSULIN DATA WAS NOT COMPARABLE WITH ANY MORE RECENT MODERN STUDIES.
Project description:Gene expression profiles generated from skeletal muscle biopsies taken from participants of the HERITAGE family study. Participants completed an endurance training regime in which a skeletal muscle biopsy was taken prior to the start and after the final session of the program. Biopsies were used to generate Affymetrix gene expression microarrays.
Project description:The overall objective of the heritage project is to study the role of the genotype in cardiovascular,metabolic and hormonal responses to aerobic exercise training and the contribution of regular exercise to changes in several cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk factors. The study cohort in this analysis consists of 473 Caucasian subjects (230 male and 243 female) from 99 nuclear families who completed M-bM-^IM-%58 of the prescribed 60 exercise-training sessions.The phenotypic expression of each individualM-bM-^@M-^Ys genotype is assessed under two well-defined environmental conditions, the pre- and post-training conditions. Here we have made the pre-training data available as used in the article Phillips BE, Williams JP, Gustafsson T, Bouchard C, Rankinen T, et al. (2013) Molecular Networks of Human Muscle Adaptation to Exercise and Age. PLoS Genet 9(3): e1003389. doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1003389 52 U133+2 profiles (17M-bM-^@M-^S63 yr) generated from pre-exercise muscle biopsy samples from the HERITAGE Family Study.

Project description:Here we present genome-wide genotyping data of 70 human samples from Europe (Balto-Slavic speakers, Greeks) that are used in addition to public data in a study of genetic heritage of the Balto-Slavic populations.
