These gene expression profiles were measured to create a broad and balanced control for any project that examines gene expression changes in men exposed to a defined stimulus (see series 5105). Keywords: gene expression profiles of healthy males 9 healthy men (aged 21 to 44) gave written agreement to participate to this study. At the time of blood withdrawal all participants were non-smokers, with normal BMI and did not obtain any medicamentation.
