The effect of dietary fat intake on hepatic gene expression in LG/J AND SM/J mice

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The liver plays a major role in regulating metabolic homeostasis and is vital for nutrient metabolism. Identifying the genetic factors regulating these processes could lead to a greater understanding of how liver function responds to a high-fat diet and how that response may influence susceptibilities to obesity and metabolic syndrome. In this study we examine differences in hepatic gene expression...
