mRNA expression data in epididymal fat tissues derived from mir342-/- and mir342wt/wt mice

mir342-/- and mir342wt/wt C57BL/6J mice were fed with standard diet (STD) and high fat-high sucrose diet (HFHS). We used microarrays to investigate the mRNA expression profile in the epididymal adipose tissues. mir342-/- and mir342wt/wt C57BL/6J mice were housed in cages and maintained on a 12-hour light-dark cycle. The were fed with STD (NMF; Oriental Yeast) and HFHS chow (D12331; Research Diet, New Brunswick, NJ). The mice were sacrificed at 16 weeks of age and epididymal adipose tissues were used for RNA extraction and applied to GeneChip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST Array.
