Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of healthy young men following a control and high-fat overfeeding diet using Illumina's Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v. 1.2. DNA methylation profiles were obtained for 27,578 CpG sites in human skeletal muscle. Randomized cross-over desgin, where all subjects receieved both treatments (control and high-fat overfeeding diet). Biopsies were obtained from 23 different individuals amounting to 22 samples following the control diet and 22 samples following the high-fat overfeeding diet (paired n=21). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 44 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip.

Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of young men born with low birth weight following a control and high-fat overfeeding diet using Illumina's Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v. 1.2. DNA methylation profiles were obtained for 27,578 CpG sites in human skeletal muscle. Randomized cross-over desgin, where all subjects receieved both treatments (control and high-fat overfeeding diet). Biopsies were obtained from 17 different individuals amounting to 16 samples following the control diet and 15 samples following the high-fat overfeeding diet (paired n=14). Bisulphite converted DNA from the 31 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip.

Project description:The adaptive mechanisms in response to excess energy supply are still poorly known in humans. Our aims were to define metabolic responses and changes in gene expression in adipose tissue of healthy volunteers during fat overfeeding. Healthy lean and overweight subjects were submitted to a high fat diet during 56 days. Adipose tissue biopsies were taken at Day 0, Day 14 and Day 56.
Project description:Caloric restriction (CR) is considered to increase lifespan and to prevent various age-related diseases in different non-human organisms. Only a limited number of CR studies have been performed in humans, and results put CR as a beneficial tool to decrease risk factors in several age-related diseases. The question remains at what age CR should be implemented to be most effective with respect to healthy aging. The aim of our study was to elucidate the role of age in the transcriptional response to a 30% CR diet in immune cells, as immune response is affected during aging. Ten healthy young men, aged 20-34, and nine healthy old men, aged 64-85, were subjected to a two week weight maintenance diet, followed by three weeks of 30% CR. Before and after 30% CR, peripheral blood mononuclear cellsâ (PBMCs) whole genome gene expression was assessed. Expression of 554 genes showed a different response between young and old men upon CR. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed a downregulation of gene sets involved in immune response in young men, but not in old men. At baseline, immune response-related genes were already higher expressed in old compared to young men. Upstream regulator analyses revealed that most potential regulators were controlling immune response, and were inhibited in young men upon CR, and activated in old men at baseline. Based on the gene expression data, we conclude that a short period of CR is more effective in young men compared to old men regarding immune related pathways. Gene expression was profiled in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from young and old men before and after 30% caloric restriction.

Project description:Data-independent acquisition of mouse liver with four treatments: normal chow diet and healthy (1-5), normal chow diet and inoculated with Salmonella (6-11), high fat diet and healthy (12-16), and high fat diet and inoculated with Salmonella (17-21).
Project description:In a randomized cross-over study, thirty-two healthy, young, slightly overweight women and men went through a two times six-day iso- and normocaloric diet intervention. Liquid meal replacement smoothies were designed composed of 65:15:20 (AHC) and 27:30:43 (BMC) energy percent (E %) of carbohydrates, proteins and fats respectively (Note: AHC - Diet A, High carbohydrate (65:15:20 energy percent (E %) of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, respectively. BMC - Diet B, Moderate carbohydrate (27:30:43E % of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, respectively)). Fasting blood samples for transcriptome analyses were collected before and after each diet period.
