Abstract excerpt
Our primary objective was to discover simplified mouse models corresponding to human obesity linkages. We used the B10.UW- H3(b) we Pax1(un) a(t)/Sn (B10.UW) congenic strain, a subcongenic strain with a reduced UW strain donor region, and their C57BL/10SnJ background strain. The congenic and subcongenic UW strain donor regions are on mouse Chr 2. We measured body length [anal-nasal (AN) length], summed fat depot...
