Abstract excerpt
To understand how genotype influences fat patterning and obesity, we conducted an autosomal genome scan using male and female F(2) hybrids between the C57BL/6ByJ and 129P3/J parental mouse strains. Mice were studied in middle-adulthood and were fed a low-energy, low-fat diet during their lifetime. We measured the weight of the retroperitoneal adipose depot (near the kidney) and the gonadal adipose depot (near the...
