Popis: Microarray technology was evaluated for usefulness in assessing relationships between serum corticosterone and hepatic gene expression. Nine pairs of female Swiss mice were chosen to provide a wide range of serum corticosterone ratios; cDNA microarray analysis (approximately 8000 genes) was performed on their livers. A statistical method based on calculation of 99% confidence intervals discovered 32 genes which varied significantly among the livers. Five of these ratios correlated significantly with serum corticosterone ratio, including tyrosine aminotransferase, stress-induced protein, pleiotropic regulator 1 and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1; the latter has a potential role in cancer development. Secondly, linear regression of gene expression vs corticosterone ratios was screened for those with r> or =0.8 (P
