Impact of sexual dimorphism on the liver transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of mice treated with different concentrations of ascorbate. (A) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the transcriptomic data. (B) One-dimensional Gene Ontology analysis showing the fold enrichments of genes involved in biological processes significantly different between females and males. (C) PCA graph of Gulo−/− mice treated with different concentrations of ascorbate in drinking water since weaning compared to age-matched control untreated WT mice in both females and males. (D) One-dimensional Gene Ontology analysis showing the fold enrichments of proteins involved in biological processes significantly different between females and males. For the PCA graphs, F = Females and M = Males; WT00 = WT females or males with no ascorbate for 4 months; GL00 = Gulo−/− females or males with no ascorbate for 1 month; GL01 = Gulo−/− females or males treated with 0.01% ascorbate for 4 months; GL05 = Gulo−/− females or males treated with 0.05% ascorbate for 4 months; GL40 = Gulo−/− females or males treated with 0.4% ascorbate for 4 months; GLR40 = Gulo−/− females or males treated with 0% ascorbate for 1 month followed by 1 month of 0.4% ascorbate treatment; N = 3 for each experimental groups
