Project description:Using heterogeneous stock (HS) rats, we have identified a region on rat chromosome 1 that maps multiple diabetic traits. We sought to use global expression analysis to determine if genes within this region are differentially expressed between HS rats with normal glucose tolerance and those with glucose intolerance HS rats were euthanized at 17 weeks of age and tail sample was taken. Genomic DNA was extracted from tail of 23 HS rats with glucose intolerance and 23 HS rats with normal glucose. The Affymetrix 10K SNP array was used to genotype these animals.

Project description:Using heterogeneous stock (HS) rats, we have identified a region on rat chromosome 1 that maps multiple diabetic traits. We sought to use global expression analysis to determine if genes within this region are differentially expressed between HS rats with normal glucose tolerance and those with glucose intolerance HS rats were euthanized at 17 weeks of age and liver was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was extracted from liver of 23 HS rats with glucose intolerance and 23 HS rats with normal glucose. The Affymetrix 230_2 array was used to probe transcript abundance levels.
Project description:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish exhausted-exercise model by motorized rodent treadmill. Yu-Ping-Feng-San at doses of 2.18 g/kg was administrated by gavage before exercise training for 10 consecutive days. Quantitative proteomics was performed for assessing the related mechanism of Yu-Ping-Feng-San.
Project description:Analysis of LBNF1 rat testes from controls, containing both somatic and all germ cell types and from irradiated rats in which all cells germ cells except type A spermatgogonia are eliminated. Results provide insight into distinguishing germ and somatic cell genes and identification of somatic cell genes that are upregulated after irradiation.
