Explainable Machine Learning Reveals 12-Fold Ucp1 Upregulation and Thermogenic Reprogramming in Female Mouse White Adipose Tissue After 37 Days of Microgravity: First AI/ML Analysis of NASA OSD-970
Microgravity induces profound metabolic adaptations in mammalian physiology, yet the molecular mechanisms governing thermogenesis in female white adipose tissue (WAT) remain poorly characterized. This paper presents the first machine learning (ML) analysis of NASA Open Science Data Repository (OSDR) dataset OSD-970, derived from the Rodent Research-1 (RR-1) mission. Using RT-qPCR data from 89 adipogenesis and thermogenesis pathway genes in gonadal WAT of 16 female C57BL/6J mice (8 flight, 8 ground control) following 37 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS), we applied differential expression analysis, multiple ML classifiers with Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOO-CV), and Ex...
