Project name: Mus musculus

Description: The hypothesis that the squalene of olive oil might influence hepatic gene expression in an apoE and sex-dependent ways was tested in mice.Gene expression was analyzed using DNA microarrays in male apoE-deficient mice that received 1 g/kg/day of squalene for 10 weeks.Overall design: As initial screening of potential candidate genes involved in a differential response, only genes with remarkably modified expression (signal log2 ratio > 1.5 or < -1.5) were further considered

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: ModelOrganism
