Expression data from retinoic acid injections into the third ventricle of F344 rats compared to vehicle injected rats
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Short day (8hrs of light/day) housed juvenile, male F344 rats were injected with 10^-5 M all-trans RA or vehicle (saline) into the third ventricle of the hypothalamus. 24 hours after RA injections rats were killed by decapitation after isoflurane inhalation at ZT3 and brains were dissected and frozen on dry ice. Hypothalamic arcuate nucleus tissue blocks were cut for RNA exaction. 4 rats per group were used giving 8 rats in total.

Project description:This study was performed to investigate the effect of aging and high fat diet on gut microbiota in F344 rats by the pyrosequencing method.
Project description:In order to gain insight into the effects of aging on susceptibility to environmental toxins, we characterized the expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) from the livers of male Brown Norway and F344 rats across the adult lifespan. To examine metabolic processes across lifespan after challenge with a xenobiotic compound, Brown Norway rats were exposed to 1.0 g/kg body weight toluene by oral gavage in corn oil (4ml/kg body weight) or corn oil alone. Keywords: age effect on toxin susceptibility

Experiment Overall Design: Brown Norway rats: Analysis of gene expression profiles for XMEs in male Brown Norway rats 4, 12, and 24 months old. Rats were exposed to 1g/kg toluene by oral gavage, and sacrificed after 4 hours. Total RNA was isolated from liver samples and gene expression analyzed using Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 full-genome GeneChips. Data from 18 samples, with three rats in each of the control age groups and dosed age groups, were analyzed. Experiment Overall Design: F344 rats: Analysis of gene expression profiles for XMEs in male F344 6, 11, 18, and 24 months old. Total RNA was isolated from liver samples and gene expression analyzed using Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 full-genome GeneChips. Data from 16 samples, with four rats in each of the 4 age groups, were analyzed.
