View SamplesGender dimorphism exists in the physiological response to diet and other environmental factors. Trans-hydrogenated fatty acid (TFA) intake is associated with an increase in coronary heart disease (CHD), and gender differences in the incidence of CHD are well documented. Neonatal administration of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) causes stunted heart growth and hypoplasticity; and gender dimorphism at the growth hormone axis has been demonstrated in MSG-treated rodents. The identification of gender dimorphism in cardiac nutrigenomics may provide the basis for gender-specific medicine in the future.
Sex-dimorphism in cardiac nutrigenomics: effect of trans fat and/or monosodium glutamate consumption.

View SamplesOur previous studies have linked Trans-fat and monosodium glutamate (MSG) to the development of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). We have also shown that MSG can interact with another commonly consumed food additive, aspartame, to impair glucose homeostasis, which is also disrupted in NAFLD. This most recent nutrigenomic study shows how aspartame, MSG and Trans-fat can unfavorably alter hepatic and adipose tissue gene expression.

View SamplesChronic dietary aspartame may impair rodent insulin tolerance and may affect behavior. Previous studies have shown the aspartame effects may be modulated by developmental NMDA receptor antagonism. Present study was designed to assess effects of aspartame and NMDAR antagonism on components of the HPA axis.

View SamplesIn order to identify potential genes that may play an important role in progression of colorectal carcinoma, we screened and validated the global gene expression using cDNA expression array on 36 CRC tissues and compared with 24 non-cancerous colorectal tissue.

View SamplesEndometrial receptivity on genomic level is one of the major cause of implantation failure in IVF patients with unexlained infertility and is a main obstacle in success of IVF. Gene expression profiles of implantation failure cases of unexplained infertility were compared with proven healthy oocyte donors as controls, both undergoing ovarian stimulation. The results provide additional information about gene expression profile related to endometrial receptivity in implantation failure cases especially under the influence of ovarian stimulation during IVF cycle.
