Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: C3H/HeJ (C3H) mice are extremely resistant to atherosclerosis. To identify the genetic factors involved in lesion initiation, we studied a cross between C3H and the susceptible strain C57BL/6J (B6) on a hyperlipidemic (apolipoprotein E-null) background. METHODS AND RESULTS: Whereas a previous cross in mice fed a Western diet for 16 weeks revealed a very complex inheritance pattern with many significant...
