Gene expression profile differences in left and right liver lobes from mid‐gestation fetal baboons: a cautionary tale
17 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Interpretation of gene array data presents many potential pitfalls in adult tissues. Gene array techniques applied to fetal tissues present additional confounding pitfalls. The left lobe of the fetal liver is supplied with blood containing more oxygen than the right lobe. Since synthetic activity and cell function are oxygen dependent, we hypothesized major differences in mRNA expression between the fetal right...
