Muscle-bone relationships in mice selected for different body conformations.

Abstract excerpt

Some muscle-bone relationships were studied in terms of gastrocnemius muscle weight, femur and tibia length and femur and tibia weight in four lines of mice (CBi-, CBi+, CBi/L and CBi/C) artificially selected for different body conformations and in the unselected control line (CBi). CBi- (low body weight--short tail) and CBi+ (high body weight--long tail) lines were divergently selected following the positive...
