Abstract excerpt
Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rats are deleted at the p-type copper transport ATPase gene (Atp7b), so that they exhibit abnormal hepatic copper concentration. In this study, it was confirmed that LEC rat liver possesses a feature of increase in polyploid. Furthermore, a segregation analysis using backcrosses between LEC and F344 normal rats showed that the increased polyploid incidence is strongly associated with...
