Abstract excerpt
The aim of the study was to initiate a sex-specific investigation of the molecular basis of diabetes, using a genomic approach in the Cohen Diabetic rat model of diet-induced Type 2 diabetes. We used an F2 population resulting from a cross between Cohen Diabetic susceptible (CDs) and resistant (CDr) and consisting of 132 males and 159 females to detect relevant QTLs by linkage and cosegregation analyses.
