Expression data of mouse (C57BL/6) Achilles tendon samples. Expression data of mouse (C57BL/6) Achilles tendon samples

Biomechanical stress is an underestimated factor in rheumatic diseases. In this study the influence of extra activity on gene expression is investigated in healthy mice. We used microarrays to determine the deregulation in gene expression induced by activity. Overall design: Micro-dissected Achilles tendon samples were freshly collected and RNA was extracted for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Mice had either been in a normal or a increased activity (voluntary running) condition
