Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice are hypercholesterolemic and develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets; however, the genetic background strain has a large effect on atherosclerosis susceptibility. This study aimed to determine the genetic regions associated with strain effects on lesion area. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a strain intercross between atherosclerosis sensitive DBA/2 and...
