Project description:Large White and Meishan pigs were either non-treated or injected with mammalian 1-24 ACTH (Immediate Synachten, Novartis France) at the dose of 250 µg per animal. Pigs were sacrificed either immediately after capture from their home cage (non-treated animals) or 1 hour following ACTH injection. Adrenal glands were immediately collected from pigs and frozen on dry ice and then stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Keywords: stress response, adrenal, gene expression, pig

Project description:Miniature pig is a useful animal model to clarify the vital reaction and the molecular mechanisms. However, physiclogical response of pig model to sodium azide (AZIDE) stress is not reveal. To establishment of large animal model for evaluate toxic stress, whole blood of miniature pig were assessed with genomics. 7 month old clawn miniature pigs were fed AZIDE feeding. AZIDE dose of 300µg/kg, one hundredth of LD50 was given orally to the miniature pigs. Whole blood gene expression was measured at 0h, 6h and 24h after feeding.
