Expression data from obese children (boys). Homo sapiens

The aim of this study was to analyze gene response to a 10-week dietary intervention for weight loss in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of overweight/obese male children. Overall design: PBMCs were obtained from 12 overweight/obese boys for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We performed the microarray analysis at baseline and after a weight loss intervention program in a total of 24 samples. They were distributed by dietary response as high and low responders.
