Data of RNA-seq transcriptomes of gastrocnemius muscle and epididymal adipose tissue in obese rats changes in hypoxic exercise environments
With the economic development and the change of people's lifestyle, the incidence of obesity in China is increasing year by year, and obesity has become a major public health problem that endangers global health. At present, the average obesity rate in China is about 12%, and the total number of obesities ranks first in the world. Obesity is a metabolic disorder caused by excessive accumulation of white adipose tissue, which can further induce metabolic syndrome such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Studies have shown that altitude hypoxic exercise can not only improve muscle buffering capacity and body performance, but also reduce body weight and body fat more significantly. In many countries, it has been used as a treatment program for obesity diseases. Hypoxic exercise can improve lipid metabolism, reduce blood lipid levels, inhibit fatty acid synthesis, and promote fatty acid decomposition and oxidation, which is the mechanism of hypoxic exercise to significantly reduce weight and fat. However, the mechanism of the cross-talk between muscle and fat tissue is not well understood under hypoxia exercise and normoxia exercise conditions. We performed RNA sequence analysis of mRNA isolated from epididymal adipose tissue and gastrocnemius muscle tissue in obese rats. The data contained changes in four different states: normoxic quiet, normoxic exercise, hypoxic quiet, and hypoxic exercise. RNA-seq data will provide insights into the cross-talk between muscle and fat, and the mechanisms of fat metabolism. The data of this study have not been published and are hereby published on this platform to study the cross talk between muscle tissue and adipose tissue in rats under different oxygen content and exercise environment. Overall design: 3-week-old healthy male SD rats were used in this experiment. We constructed an obese rat model and randomly divided the rats into normoxic quiet training, normoxic exercise training, hypoxic quiet training, and hypoxic exercise training. Gastrocnemius muscle tissue and epididymal adipose tissue were isolated for RNA-seq transcriptomes analysis. The data changes of rats in different exercise environments were collected.
