Validation of the Use of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells as Surrogate Model for Skeletal Muscle Tissue in Nutrigenomic Studies
31 Dec 2010
Abstract excerpt
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) offer a significant promise for gene expression analyses as a substitute for tissues that are not easily accessible. The objective of this study was to validate the use of PBMCs for gene expression analysis as a marker of nutritional intervention as an alternative to skeletal muscle tissue (SMT) biopsies. We performed a transcriptome comparison of PBMCs versus SMT after...
