The role of the small intestine in the development of dietary fat-induced obesity and insulin resistance in C57BL/6J mice-3

are clustered in a heat map diagram for the proximal, middle and distal part of the small intestine. Green and red indicate down- and up-regulation of gene expression, respectively. In general, three expression patterns can be distinguished; consistently up-regulated, consistently down-regulated or alternate up- and down-regulation during diet intervention. Amongst other genes that display similar expression patterns on a high-fat diet, the boxes include differentially expressed genes that share association with particular biological processes (numbered). Differentially expressed genes with a -0.3 > SLR > 0.3 in at least one week of diet intervention were included and the color scheme ranges from SLR -1.5 to 1.5.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "The role of the small intestine in the development of dietary fat-induced obesity and insulin resistance in C57BL/6J mice"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1755-8794/1/14</p><p>BMC Medical Genomics 2008;1():14-14.</p><p>Published online 6 May 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2396659.</p><p>
