s. RNA was considered as suitable for array hybridization only if samples exhibited intact bands corresponding to the 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA subunits, displayed no chromosomal peaks or RNA degradation products, and had a RNA integrity number .8. Applying this criterion, 142 RNA samples were used for hybridization to microarrays, including 5 to 6 biological replicate samples per diet, per time-point. RNA samples were hybridized to NuGO Affymetrix Mouse GeneChip arrays containing 23865 probesets including 73 control probesets. Arrays were scanned on a GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. Detailed methods for labeling, hybridizations to the arrays and scanning are described in the eukaryotic section of the GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual, Revision 3, from Affymetrix, and are available upon request. The gene expression data are made available via ArrayExpress repository. performed using packages from the R/Bioconductor project through the Management and Analysis Database for MicroArray eXperiments analysis pipeline. Quality control of the hybridized microarrays was performed using simpleaffy and affyplm packages. Upon rigorous examination of the resulting diagnostic plots, 116 microarrays of the supreme quality were taken for the further analysis. This resulted in analysis of 3 to 6 biological replicate samples per diet, per timepoint. Gene expression estimates were calculated using the library GC-RMA, employing the empirical Bayes approach for background correction followed by quantile normalization. The custom MBNI CDF-file, available at http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/ Database/CustomCDF/CDF_download_v9.asp and http://nugo-r. bioinformatics.nl/NuGO_R.html was used to re-annotate the probes to new probesets, remove poor quality probes 10401570 and derive unique signal values for different probesets representing the same gene. This resulted in gene expression values for 15105 genes with unique identifiers. Differentially expressed genes between control and each of treatment groups per time point, as well as between each of time points and day 0, were identified using the limma package, applying linear models and moderated t-statistics 17984313 that implement empirical Bayes regularization of standard errors. False discovery rate of 10% was used as a threshold for significance of differential expression. Significance of the overlap between differentially expressed genes in HFBT and HFP conditions was calculated by hypergeometric distribution. The t-test values of differential expression between control and each of treatment groups per time point calculated using limma package were used as the input for the PreRanked scoring method within the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis. Gene sets collection included 880 gene sets compiled from MSigDB C2, Biocarta, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and GenMAPP databases as well as the Vercirnon expert curated gene sets. Detailed information about gene sets used for GSEA analysis, including source websites is available upon request. Gene set size filter resulted in filtering out 405 of 880 gene sets. The number of permutations for was set to 1000. Gene sets are considered significantly enriched at false discovery rate smaller than 10%. In total, 314 gene sets are identified as significantly enriched in at least 1 of 16 comparisons. Normalized enrichment scores of significantly enriched pathways and the corresponding FDR q-values across all experimental conditions are available upon request. Hierarchical clus
