Project description:Analysis of effects of A scoparia on gene expression in adipose tissue. Current study was designed to examine the whole-body and tissue-specific effects of A scoparia on metabolic parameters in the context of high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance.
Project description:The fur of the common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), a model marsupial, is lightweight, soft and has superior insulation properties. Two predominate fur colours exisit: grey or black. RNA-sequencing of skin from grey (n=3) and black (n=3) possums was performed to investigate gene expression changes between these colour morphs.
