Abstract
To assess the relationship between a reduced nephron number and a particular susceptibility to obesity-induced renal damage, mice underwent uninephrectomy (UNX) followed by either normal chow or high-fat diet (HFD) and were compared with sham-operated control mice. Analysis of gene expression in the mouse kidney by whole genome microarrays indicated that high fat diet led to more changes in gene expression than uninephrectomy. However, the combination of UNX and HFD additionally altered the effects of obesity on gene expression pattern. Here we describe in details the contents and quality controls for the gene expression and related results associated with the data uploaded to Gene Expression Omnibus (accession number GSE53996).
