Investigating the molecular mechanisms of the metabolic syndrome

2010-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This thesis aims to highlight molecular mechanisms that have been altered by prenatal undernutrition and may be involved in the metabolic syndrome. Two separate studies were conducted both using a rat model developed through manipulation of the maternal diet to provoke the key features of the metabolic syndrome in adult offspring. Microarray technology was used to detect changes in gene expression in target tissue...
