Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Because inbred rat strains are widely used as laboratory models, knowledge of phenotypic and genetic variations between strains will be useful to obtain insight into the relationship between different strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied phenotypic traits: of each strain--BN/K, DA/K and WOKW--10 male rats were studied for body weight and serum constituents at an age of 10 and 30 weeks. In...
