Project description:Visceral white adipose tissue is closed correlated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Epididymal adipose tissue (eWAT) is considered as typical visceral white adipose tissue. Induction of browning of white adipose tissue improves metabolic dysfunction such as insulin resistance. In contrast to mice subcutaneous adipose tissue, visceral fat do not show significant browning under 4°C. However,under physiologically tolerable low temperature visceral adipose tissue can turn brown. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in C57Bl/6 mice epididymal adipose tissue exposed to thermoneutral 30°C, 4°C and temperatures lower than 4°C.
Project description:The effect of a short-term calorie restricted diet was evaluated in epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) in seven strains of mice The dietary intervention was initiated at 8 weeks of age and continued until 22 weeks of age
Project description:Compare miRNA expression profiles in epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT), interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) and skeletal muscle from wild-type C57BL/6J mice
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) depots in Ercc1 animals: To further elucidate the role of ERCC1 in WAT we scanned the transcriptome of 15 day old wt and Ercc1 epididymal WAT.
Project description:TIme course of gene expression changes in epididymal white adipose tissue of 3-4 month old male Bl6 mice treated with CL 316243 for 0,1,3 or 6 days
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes expressed selectively in brown adipose tissue as compared to white adipose tissue from the same animals. This analysis provides a gene set that is brown and white adipose selective. Experiment Overall Design: Interscapular brown adipose tissue and epididymal white adipose tissue was carefully dissected from 3 male C57Bl/6 mice. These samples were profiled independently using Affymetrix mouse 430_2 gene arrays, representing 3 biological replicates for each brown and white adipose tissues.
Project description:Abhd15 is mainly expressed in white adipose tissues and highly upregulated upon adipogenesis. Abhd15 expression is correlated with insulin resistance in obese humans, however its physiological function remains unknown. We used the microarray technology to gain insight into ABHD15’s physiological function by identifying dysregulated genes in eWAT from Abhd15-ko mice in comparison to WT mice. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in epididymal white adipose tissue and identified distinct dysregulated genes in response to refeeding
Project description:We hybridzed cRNA from epididymal white adipose tissue collected at ZT18 of control animals and TSR animals (TSR: these mice were sleep restricted for 6 hours every day by gentle handling for 5 consecutive days and killed on the last day at ZT18) mice used in this study were C57BL/6
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse white adipose tissues The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between vitamin B6 activity and chronic inflammation of white adipose tissue in mice fed a high-fat diet. Twenty-four CD-1 mice were divided into two groups (n = 12) and fed either a 1 mg pyridoxine (PN) HCl /kg diet or a 35 mg PN HCl /kg diet for 8 weeks. We isolated total RNA from epididymal white adipose tissue of each group and compared gene expression profiles by DNA microarray data analysis. Noriyuki Yanaka
