Project description:Dietary methionine restriction (MR) has been shown to increase lifespan and decrease adiposity in rodents. This study was designed to examine the transcriptional effects of MR in metabolically relevant tissues. This experiment contains data from the inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT). We analyzed MR-induced changes in gene expression using pooled RNA from IWAT of rats fed either a control purified amino acid diet (DL-methionine content of 0.86%) (CON) or a methionine-restricted diet (DL-methionine content of 0.172%)(MR). Rats were fed Purina rodent diet 5001 until 32 days of age and were then randomly assigned to be fed CON diet or MR diet for 20 months.

Project description:Dietary methionine restriction (MR) has been shown to increase lifespan and decrease adiposity in rodents. This study was designed to examine the transcriptional effects of MR in metabolically relevant tissues. This experiment contains data from the liver. We analyzed MR-induced changes in gene expression using pooled RNA from liver of rats fed either a control purified amino acid diet (DL-methionine content of 0.86%) (CON) or a methionine-restricted diet (DL-methionine content of 0.172%)(MR). Rats were fed Purina rodent diet 5001 until 32 days of age and were then randomly assigned to be fed CON diet or MR diet for 20 months.
Project description:Ingestion of a diet with a restricted Methionine (MR) content results in robust activation of a set of browning genes in IWAT (inguinal white adipose tissue). So far, data were obtained using a mix of elemental amino acids as the dietary protein source, which was replaced in this experiment with casein. To reduce methionine content, casein was oxidized and methionine was added back to a concentration similar to the diets using elemental amino acids as protein source. Results show that mice reduce body weight and adiposity on MR containing oxidized casein similar to MR containing elemental amino acids. Similarly, energy expenditure, as well as food and water intake were increased. The RNAseq experiment was conducted to compare the effect of MR using these two protein sources on the IWAT transcriptome.
Project description:Male ferrets, aged 3 months, were divided into two group: one group remained at 22 degrees Celsius, while the other group was acclimatized to 4 degrees Celsius for one week. After sacrification, inguinal and periaortic white adipose tissues were dissected, and used for RNA isolation and subsequent global gene expression profiling using custom Agilent ferret-specific 2x400K microarrays. Data analysis indicated that while the cold exposure induces an increase on metabolism in inguinal white adopose tissue, in periaortic white adipose tissue this stimulus induces a reduction on expression of genes involved in cell cycle and in immune response.
Project description:We analyzed transcript abundance in interscapular brown and inguinal white adipose tissue of wildtype and UCP1-KO mice either adpated to 20°C or 30°C and fed a high fat or control diet.
Project description:Subcutaneous adipose tissue transcriptomes were compared between 21 obese individuals that either maintained weight loss (good controllers) or regained weight (poor controllers) during a 2-phase dietary Intervention. Dietary intervention: Individuals underwent 8-weeks of calorie-restriction, then 6-months of ad libitum diet.
