  1. Total RNA was extracted from male and female rat livers and sex-dependent gene products were identified using rat whole-genome oligo arrays. The data were obtained using SAM at a false discovery rate of 5% and are represented as mean fold changes. Functional analysis was made but only genes involved in lipid, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism are listed here. All data are available from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus database http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/ using the series entry GSE20601.
