View SamplesWe analyzed samples from 770 male human subjects who are part of the METSIM study. Ethics Committee of the Northern Savo Hospital District approved the study. All participants gave written informed consent. The population-based cross-sectional METSIM study included 10 197 men, aged from 45 to 73 years, who were randomly selected from the population register of the Kuopio town in eastern Finland (population 95000). Every participant had a 1-day outpatient visit to the Clinical Research Unit at the University of Kuopio, including an interview on the history of previous diseases and current drug treatment and an evaluation of glucose tolerance and cardiovascular risk factors. After 12 h of fasting, a 2 h oral 75 g glucose tolerance test was performed and the blood samples were drawn at 0, 30 and 120 min. Plasma glucose was measured by enzymatic hexokinase photometric assay (Konelab Systems reagents; Thermo Fischer Scientific, Vantaa, Finland). Insulin was determined by immunoassay (ADVIA Centaur Insulin IRI no. 02230141; Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY, USA). Height and weight were measured to the nearest 0.5 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively. Waist circumference (at the midpoint between the lateral iliac crest and lowest rib) and hip circumference (at the level of the trochanter major) were measured to the nearest 0.5 cm. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance (RJL Systems) in subjects in the supine position.

View SamplesIdentify genes involved in regulation of inflammatory responses and gene-environemnt interactions, in macrophages from a set of mouse inbred strains termed the HMDP. The HMDP is a genetically diverse mapping panel comprised of classical inbred and recombinant inbred wild type mice. The RMA values of genes were used for genome wide association as described in Bennett et al Genome Research 2010.

View SamplesIdentify genes in the gonadal adipose tissue whose expression is under genetic regulation in the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel (HMDP). The HMDP comprises classical inbred and recombinant inbred wild type mice. The RMA values of genes were used for genome wide association as described in Parks et al Cell Metabolism 2015. These data are used to identify candidate genes at loci associated with obesity and dietary responsiveness.

View SamplesIn several models of obesity-induced diabetes, increased lipid accumulation in the liver has been associated with decreased diabetes susceptibility. For instance, deficiency in leptin receptor (db/db) leads to hyperphagia and obesity in both C57BL/6 and C57BLKS mice but, only on the C57BLKS background do the mice develop beta-cell loss leading to severe diabetes while C57BL/6 mice are relatively resistant. Liver triglyceride levels in the resistant C57BL/6 mice are 3 to 4 fold higher than in C57BLKS.

View SamplesTranscriptomes performed on left ventricular heart samples from mice of the hybrid mouse diversity panel, a set of over a hundred inbred strains of mice. In this project, the strains were challenged with Isoproterenol, a beta-adrenergic agonist to induce cardiac hypertrophy and failure. Results are useful for the analysis of heart-related traits in mice
