Sexually dimorphic characteristics of the small intestinal transcriptome of Fabp-gene ablated mice. Sexually dimorphic characteristics of the small intestinal transcriptome of Fabp-gene ablated mice

Analysis of whole small intestine tissue of 10-week old C57BL/6J mice, C57BL/6J mice with the disruption of either Fabp2 gene or Fabp6 gene, and C57BL/6J mice with the simultaneous disruption of Fabp2 and Fabp6 genes. Fabp2 and Fabp6 are two types of fatty acid binding proteins expressed primarily in the small intestine. Overall design: Small intestine were isolated from ten-week old WT and Fabp-disrupted male and female mice fed a standard lab diet and subjected to gene expression profiling using microarray
