Also, a variety of terms related to metabolic processes, including carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, or secondary metabolism, were over-represented in gene families.
For example, dioxin-induced processes that exhibited changes in many more genes included the stress response, embryonic morphogenesis, gene transcription, protein metabolism, and DNA metabolic processes including proteins involved in DNA replication and/or repair.
The liver is an essential organ in mammals and the central organ for metabolic processes including xenobiotic metabolism.
Many cellular and metabolic processes, including lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis, and cell differentiation, are controlled by PPARα.
Important metabolic processes, including sucrose metabolism and phenylpropanoid pathways, PAL and coumarin, are developmentally and differentially regulated in a genotype-specific manner as well.
Most of these genes play particularly important roles in different metabolic processes, including energy metabolism or downstream molecular functions affecting metabolic processes.
The smooth ER of these specialized cells functions in diverse metabolic processes, including synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, and detoxification of drugs and poisons.
Many studies have shown that miRNAs participate in multiple metabolic processes including energy homeostasis, sugar/lipid metabolism and cell differentiation.
Terms that indicate metabolic processes, including lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were enriched in downregulated transcripts at both time points and in both species.
Traditionally recognized for their role in regulating lipid absorption, bile acids are now known to be involved in the regulation of multiple metabolic processes including lipid and glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis through the activation of multiple signaling pathways.
Gene families specific to radish were significantly enriched with GO terms related to small molecule metabolic processes, including monosaccharide and organic acid metabolism (Additional file 4).
