Project description:The main aim of this experiment was to investigate gene expression on human adipose tissue after two different 4-week energy-restricted diets. Our questions consisted in understanding how gene expression was linked to clinical parameters of obese patients and whether the two diets were discriminated this data. The subjects were randomly allocated, in a cross-over design, to two periods of 4 weeks of an energy restricted isocaloric diet of 1200 kcal as either a conventional diet (LC-CONV) or a special energy restricted diet compensated by proteins (LC-P-LGI). The two nutritional periods were separated by a wash-out interval of 8 weeks. The samples who contain a K in their name correspond to the LC-P-LGI diet while those who contain a C correspond to LC-CONV diet.

Total RNA obtained from isolated human adipose tissue of 12 subjects at 6 different time points (0, 5, 30, 90, 95 and 120 days).
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs. Two-condition experiment, KP MSCs vs. 3A6 MSCs.
Project description:To elucidate the effects of altered dietary carbohydrate and fat balance on liver and adipose tissue transcriptomes, 3-week-old rats were fed three kind of diets: low, moderate and high fat diets (L, M and H) containing a different ratio of carbohydrate:fat (C:F) (65:15, 60:20 and 35:45 in energy percent, respectively).
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
