Abstract excerpt
Tail tendon fibre break time (TTFBT), an indicator of collagen cross-linkage, was measured longitudinally in C57BL/6, DBA/2 and B6D2F1 mice, and F2 and backcross genotypes. TTFBT was assessed at 50, 150, 300 and 450 days of age. The distribution of means of these six genotypes suggests substantial genetic influence on this phenotype. Broad sense heritability, as assessed in a classical biometrical analysis, was...
