The aim of this study was to undertake an in-depth and comparative study of the protein expression patterns of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues in goats, combined to an mRNA expression study of proteins involved in immune and inflammatory response. Samples were obtained from four healthy goat-kids, Alpine breed, naturally reared by their mothers. Animals were slaughtered at the age of 30 days, during routinely slaughtering procedures, and four different adipose tissues were collected from each animal. Subcutaneous fat was taken from sternum and base of the tail; visceral fat was taken from perirenal and omental depots. The four adipose tissues deposits were selected due to their frequent use in experimental studies on fat tissue. Liver samples were also collected, and used as reference samples. Tissue samples were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at –80 degrees C until analysis. The 20 runs included in this dataset are from the 4 animals x 5 tissues (sternum, base of the tail, perirenal area, omentum and liver). A 2-D label free LC-MS/MS approach followed by cluster analysis was used for comparing the subcutaneous and visceral fat tissue proteomes. Each sample was analysed in ~12 SCX fractions which correspond to the WIFF files included in each RAW_GOAT0xx.zip files.
