Abstract excerpt
New Zealand obese (NZO) mice present a metabolic syndrome of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. To identify chromosomal segments associated with these traits, we intercrossed NZO mice with the lean and diabetes-resistant C57BL/6J (B6) strain. Obesity and hyperglycemia in the (NZO x B6)F2 intercross population were predominantly due to a broad quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 1 (Nob3; logarithm...
