Genetic vs Dietary Models of Iron Overload in the Mouse Liver

Iron overload causes the generation of reactive oxygen species, which can lead to lasting damage to the liver and other organs. We studied the effects of iron deficiency and iron overload on the hepatic transcriptional and metabolomic profile in mouse models. We studied effect of different iron overloads (High, medium and Low) on liver transcriptome using whole genome transcriptome profiling.
