Project description:The impact of high fat diet on secreted milk small RNA transcriptome was studied by isolating total RNA from milk fat fraction collected on lactation day 10 from control diet fed (C; n=5; 10% fat; 7% sucrose; Research Diets #D12450J, Brunswick, NJ) and high fat diet fed (HF; n=4; Research Diets #D12492, 60% of total kcal energy is fat and match 7% of total kcal is sucrose; Brunswick, NJ) mice.

Project description:The aim of this study was to assess whether chronic treatment with RPV can modulate the progression of chronic liver disease, especially of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), through a nutritional model in wild-type mice Mice were daily treated with RPV (p.o.) and fed with normal or high fat diet during 3 months to induce fatty liver disease
Project description:To determine effects of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance on arterial wall biology, gene expression profiles were generated using aortas from mice on high fat (35% fat) diet and their respective non diabetic regular chow fed controls. Keywords: Chip Experiment was done in triplicate with three independent pools from test mice on high fat diet and control mice on regular chow diet. For RNA isolation aortas were striped of adventitia and periaortic fat. RNA from three aortas was pooled for the synthesis of probe for affymetrix array analysis.
Project description:We found that hyperglycemia and elevated fatty acids in diabetes could activate protein kinase C-β isoforms and selectively induce insulin resistance via inhibiting vascular insulin signaling. To further investigate the effect of high fat diet and specific PKC β inactivation on STZ-induced atherosclerosis using the PKC β inhibitor, ruboxistaurin (RBX, or LY333531), ApoE-/- mice were used and fed with high fat diet (42% of fat Kcal) with or without RBX after onset of diabetes. Isolated total RNA from whole aortas of each group was used and analyzed for gene expression. The gene expression profiles were processed by using the Microarray Suite version 5.0 (MAS 5.0) with Affymetrix default analysis settings. ApoE-/- mice were used as a rodent atherosclerosis model. Isolated total RNA from aortas of each ApoE-/- mouse fed with high fat diet for 10 weeks after STZ-induced diabetes or control groups were used for preparation and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. There were total 4 different mice groups, which were fed with high fat diet with or without RBX. Each group had four individual mouse (N=4).
