We characterized the insulin sensitivity and multi-tissue gene expression profiles of lean and insulin resistant, obese Zucker rats untreated or treated with one of four PPARγ ligands (pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, troglitazone, and AG035029). We analyzed the transcriptional profiles of adipose tissu...

Endurance exercise training has been shown to decrease whole-body and skeletal muscle insulin resistance and increase glucose tolerance in conditions of both pre-diabetes and overt type 2 diabetes. However, the adaptive responses in skeletal muscle at the molecular and genetic level for these benef...

Analysis of the gene signature of steatosis associated to obesity in hepatocytes of Zucker fa/fa obese rats and their controls; identifying target genes linked to steatosis progression. or Obesity and insulin resistance-associated steatosis can be a non-inflammatory condition affecting hepatocytes o...

Obesity is risk factor for development of fatty liver. Analysis of altered gene expression gives better understading about the mechanisms involved/alterted in the development of obesity-induced fattyliver in this new obese rat model. We used Microarrays to delinate the alted gene expression in live...

Obesity is characterised by increased adipocyte size and number. Analysis of altered gene expression gives better understading about the mechanisms involved/alterted in the development of obesity in this new obese rat model. We used Microarrays to delinate the alted gene expression in adipose tissue...

Caloric restriction increases life-span of a number of organisms. The relationship between the increase in life-span and the extent of caloric restriction, however, varies among species. The underlying mechanisms are yet unknown, but appear to be related to changes in metabolism. In order to investi...

Deletion of the glycerol channel aquaporin-9 (Aqp9) reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in leptin receptor deficient (db/db) obese mice on a C57BL/6×C57BLKS mixed genetic background. Furthermore, shRNA mediated reduction of Aqp9 expression reduces liver triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in a ...

Analysis of gene expression profiles of epididymal fat from DIO rats; We applied a comparative functional genomics approach to evaluate diet-induced obese (DIO) rats as an obesity model Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles from DIO and lean rats were generated and compared. A private ...

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective therapy for morbid obesity, but it has a ~20% failure rate. We used our established RYGB model in diet-induced obese (DIO) Sprague-Dawley rats, which reproduces human bi-phasic body weight (BW) loss pattern, to determine mechanisms contributing t...
