Peripheral blood mononuclear cell gene expression pre-/post- oral glucose challenge. Homo sapiens

Acute metabolic challenges provide insight on how the body responds to metabolic stress. In this study, we assessed transcriptomic response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to an acute glucose challenge. Overall design: Participants consumed 75 g glucose (anhydrous) in 150 mL of water. PBMCs were collected at baseline and 60 minutes post-challenge for RNA extractin and microarray hybridization
