Gene expression profiling of zebrafish (Danio rerio) in response to nutritional supplementation with mastic essential oil from Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. Danio rerio

To analyse the gene expression profile of zebrafish in response to nutritional supplementation with mastic essential oil, mRNA was isolated at 42dpf and subjected to DNA microarray analysis. Gene ontology characterisation indicated that most of the differentially expressed genes were related to the immune defense against pathogens, immunometabolic processes and mucin function. Overall design: Gene expression profiling of control and mastic essential oil supplemented zebrafish at 42 dpf with the Affymetrix Zebrafish Gene 1.0 ST Array.
