Microarray analyses of the effects of prenatal metformin exposure on the gene expression profile of liver, brain and subcutaneous adipose tissue of neonatal mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to characterise the effects of prenatal metformin exposure on a tissue gene expression level in mice. The data consists of two models, regular diet (study I) and high fat diet (study II) model. In both models, metformin (300 mg/kg) or control agent (water) was administered to pregnant female mice from the embryonic day E0.5 untill E17.5. In the high fat diet model, the dams had been on a high fat diet (60% of fat) for one month prior to and during the gestation. The diet was changed to regular diet from E18.5. The pups were sacrificed by decapitation at postnatal day 4 and brain (study I), liver (studies I and II) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (study II) were taken for further microarray analyses. In study I,there are 3 replicates in each group of interest: brain_male_ctrl; brain_male_met; liver_male_ctrl; liver_male_met; liver_female_ctrl; liver_female_met. In study II, there are 6 replicates in each group of interest: liver_male_ctrl; liver_male_met; wat_male_ctrl; wat_male_met.
