Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Hypertriglyceridaemia is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease, especially in the context of the insulin resistance syndrome where it often occurs with hypertension. The two phenotypes are also associated in the hereditary hypertriglyceridaemic (hHTg) rat. The aim of this study was to map quantitative trait loci that affect plasma triglyceride concentration in the hHTg rat and...
