Unraveling the rat blood genome-wide transcriptome after oral administration of Lavender oil by a two-color dye-swap DNA microarray approach

Lavender oil (LO) is commonly used oil in aromatherapy, with well-defined volatile components linalool and linalyl acetate, in non-traditional medicine. To understand and demonstrate the potential positive effects of LO on the body, we have established an animal model for investigating the orally administered LO effects genome-wide in the rat tissues. In this data submission, we investigate the effect of LO ingestion in the blood. These results are the first such inventory of genes that are affected by lavender essential oil (LO) in the blood of an animal model, forming the basis for further functional analysis and investigation.薰衣草精油（Lavender oil, LO）是芳香疗法中常用的精油，其挥发性特征成分芳樟醇（linalool）与乙酸芳樟酯（linalyl acetate）已得到明确鉴定，在非传统医学领域亦有广泛应用。为探究并验证薰衣草精油对机体的潜在积极作用，我们构建了动物模型，用于研究经口给予薰衣草精油在大鼠组织中产生的全基因组水平效应。在本次数据集提交内容中，我们针对经口摄入薰衣草精油对血液的影响展开了系统性探究。本研究结果首次获得了动物模型血液中受薰衣草精油（LO）调控的基因完整名录，可为后续功能分析与相关研究奠定坚实基础。
