Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the phenotypic and genetic relationships among bone-density-related traits and those of adipose tissue and plasma lipids in mice with diet-induced atherosclerosis. Sixteen-month-old female F2 progeny of a C57BL/6J and DBA/2J intercross, which had received an atherogenic diet for 4 mo, were examined for multiple measures of femoral bone mass, density, and biomechanical properties using both...
