The genes listed show at least twofold deviation from the average in saline-exposed (C57) mice at any of the time points (1 d, 3 d, or 2 wk). Most genes are seen most strongly up-regulated at the latest (2 wk) time point. The most highly up-regulated gene, Gdf15, is involved in the injury response in liver and lung.
