Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the effect of genetic background on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) levels in Soat1(-/-) mice, we backcrossed sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (Soat1)(-/-) mice, originally reported to have elevated HDL levels, to C57BL/6 mice and constructed a congenic strain with only a small region (3.3Mb) of 129 alleles, specifically excluding the nearby apolipoprotein A-II (Apoa2) gene from 129. HDL levels...
