Abstract excerpt
To investigate the quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating plasma cholesterol, the female progeny of an (SMxNZB/ B1NJ)xNZB/B1NJ backcross were fed an atherogenic diet. After 18 wk, plasma total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was measured. HDL-C concentrations were greater in NZB than in SM mice. For standard chow-fed mice, QTL were found near D5Mit370 and D18Mit34. For mice fed an...
