Description
The Human Obesity RT² Profiler PCR Array profiles the expression of 84 genes related to
obesity. The control of a relative stable body weight depends on a complex interaction
among the hormone axes in the peripheral nervous system and neurotransmitter signals in
the central nervous system that play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced energy
metabolism. This PCR Array includes obesity-related genes that are directly involved in the
regulation of energy intake and expenditure. The genes encode for orexigenic peptides,
hormones, and receptors; anorectic peptides, hormones, receptors; and central and
peripheral signaling molecules involved in energy expenditure. Using real-time PCR, you
can easily and reliably analyze expression of a focused panel of genes related to Obesity
with this array.
