Table 2.

Comparison of array results and RT-PCR results for selected genes. Gene expression percentages are reported relative to the control values. F/ WR: Fasting Weight Reduction.

Genes	Assay	High Fat vs. Control	F/ WR vs. Control
IL6st	Array	154 ± 21%*	144 ± 21%*†
	RT-PCR	167 ± 19%*	185 ± 15%*†
PTP4a2	Array	71 ± 4%*	89 ± 3%*
	RT-PCR	75 ± 16%	94 ± 18%
RGS3	Array	35 ± 5%*	54 ± 8%*
	RT-PCR	38 ± 9%*	59 ± 8%*
G6P	RT-PCR	476 ± 72%	769 ± 216%*
PCK1	RT-PCR	132 ± 28%	217 ± 80%*
Malic Enzyme	RT-PCR	9.1 ± 1.5%*	0.1 ± 0.1%*

*Indicates that the measurements were significantly different from control values at P < 0.01.

^†Indicates that the measurements made on the micro array were significantly different from the RT-PCR measurement at P < 0.05.
