Project description:To identify liver transcripts differentially expressed due to treatment with N, N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT) and p-toluidine, we collected RNA during the from male F344/N rats exposed to 0, 1, 6, 20, 60 or 120 mg/kg DMPT (or p-toluidine), 5 days after exposure for animals 5-6 weeks of age. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 GeneChip Array. A total of 511 gene transcripts were differentially expressed due to DMPT treatment and 354 gene transcripts were differentially expressed due to p-toluidine treatment (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05).
Project description:To identify nasal cavity transcripts differentially expressed due to treatment with N, N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (DMPT), we collected RNA during the from male F344/N rats exposed to 120 mg/kg DMPT, 5 days after DMPT exposure for animals 5-6 weeks of age. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 GeneChip Array. A total of 2,561 gene transcripts were differentially expressed due to DMPT treatment (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05).
Project description:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish exhausted-exercise model by motorized rodent treadmill. Yu-Ping-Feng-San at doses of 2.18 g/kg was administrated by gavage before exercise training for 10 consecutive days. Quantitative proteomics was performed for assessing the related mechanism of Yu-Ping-Feng-San.
Project description:d-serine is naturally present throughout the human body. It is also used as add-on therapy for treatment-refractory schizophrenia. d-Serine interacts with the strychnine-insensitive glycine binding site of NMDA receptor, and this interaction could lead to potentially toxic activity (i.e., excitotoxicity) in brain tissue. The transcriptomic changes that occur in the brain after d-serine exposure have not been fully explored. Affymetrix microarray technology was used to determine differential gene expression resulting from D-Serine exposure. Keywords: Dose course Male Fisher 344 rats aged 11-12 weeks were treated with various doses (0, 5, 20, 50, 200 and 500 mg/kg) of d-serine and terminally sacrificed 96 hours post-exposure. An approximate 30mg-section of the forebrain was processed for total RNA isolation.
