ABSTRACT: Global hepatic gene expression data from PPARa liver KO, PPARa liver WT, PPARaKO and WT male mice fed ad libitum, fasted for 24 hours and re-fed
Project description:To identify genes whose expression is under the strict dependence of hepatocyte PPARa activity, we used a mouse strain of PPARa-specific deletion in hepatocyte (albumin-Cre+/- Pparaflox/flox or LKO) and we compared them to their liver WT littermates (albumin-Cre-/- Pparaflox/flox or LWT) fed ad libitum or fasted for 24 hours.
Project description:If the function of the nuclear receptor PPARa is well-known during a prolongated fasting, its hepatic biological function during feeding and refeeding conditions still needs to be investigated. Moreover, in vivo data collected so far on PPARa function during fasting were obtained using the total Ppara KO transgenic mouse model. To identify genes whose expression is under the strict dependence of hepatic PPARa activity, we generated a new mouse strain of PPARa-specific deletion in hepatocyte (albumin-Cre+/- Pparaflox/flox or LKO) and we compared them to total Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (albumin-Cre-/- Pparaflox/flox or LWT) mice under three nutritional challenges. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in liver of Ppara LKO, LWT, Ppara KO and WT male mice fed ad libitum, fasted for 24 hours and refed. There are 52 liver samples, each from an individual mouse. The samples are from Ppara liver KO (LKO), Ppara KO (KO), wild-type (WT) and liver WT (LWT) male mice of 8 week-old from the same genetic background (C57Bl/6J) fed ad libitum, fasted for 24 hours, fasted for 24 hours and then refed 24 hours more with glucose added in water (200g/l). In fed condition (Fed), n= 3 mice for LKO, LWT genotypes, n= 5 for KO and n= 4 fot WT; in fasting condition (Fas), n=5 for LKO, LWT and WT genotypes and n= 3 for KO; in refeeding condition (Ref), n= 5 for LKO, KO and WT genotypes and n= 4 for LWT. All mice were sacrified at ZT14.

Project description:Neurotensin(NTS), a gut hormone, is known to impact whole body energy metabolism. Here we investigated the impact of neurotensin on the liver in fed (ad libitum) and fasted (22h) female mice livers from NTS wild type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice. Our goal was to investigate the regulation of energy metabolism pathways in the liver that are regulated by neurotensin, specifically lipid uptake and mitochondrial metabolism.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling in liver of 24 pigs of 115 kg body weight from lines divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI): low-RFI pigs fed ad libitum (RFIneg), high-RFI pigs fed ad libitum (RFIpl) and high-RFI pigs restricted at RFIneg feeding level (RFIplR) to investigate the impact of feeding independently of selection.

Project description:A control group of male C57BL/6J mice were fed a 60% fat diet (Research Diets D12492i) for 8 weeks, resulting in “ad libitum obesity” (ALO). Leptin receptor-deficient B6.BKS(D)-Leprdb/J (“db/db”) male mice were fed a low-fat chow diet (PicoLab Rodent Diet 20; Purina Mills Inc). Once the average body weights of the two groups were equivalent, all mice were fasted for 24 hours, after which they were sacrificed and perigonadal adipose tissue (PGAT) was dissected out. PGAT was cultured ex vivo for 6 hours, after which conditioned media was collected and submitted for proteomic profiling. At the time of sacrifice, ALO mice were 17 weeks old and db/db mice were 10 weeks old. “HFD” is also used to refer to the ALO condition while “DB” is used to refer to the “db/db” condition.
Project description:To provide a summary of cells within the mouse hypothalamus in the fed and fasted state, we performed single nucleus RNA sequencing on 12 mice fed ad libitum, and 6 mice that were fasted overnight. Hypothalami were dissected and stored at -80ºC overnight. The next day single nucleus supensions were made, pooling together hypothalamic from the same feeding condition (2 x ad libitum prepared on separate days; 1 x overnight fast). Susepensions were FACS sorted for DRAQ5 positive events. Single nucleus RNA sequencing libraries were generated using the 10X Chromium single cell 3' reagents.
