Gene expression changes in mouse ovarywith age from 1 to 24 months on ad libitum (AL) or calorierestriction (CR) diet. Panels A-F show genes whose expression increases with age; panels G-L show genes whose expression decreases with age. Genes were selected arbitrarily to represent each functional category, but most of them were genes with the greatest differential expression in each functional category. (A) interleukin-related genes, (B) MHC-II genes, (C) complement component genes, (D) C-lectin genes, (E) apoptosis-related genes, (F) TNF receptor genes, (G) oogenesin genes, (H) zona pellucida genes, (I) other oocytes-specific genes, (J) cell cycle-related genes, (K) BMP-signaling genes, and (L) DNA repair genes.
