Abstract excerpt
Genetic and environmental factors both play a role in the occurrence of age-related disease. To examine the genetic contribution to the development of spontaneous lesions in aging animals, a complete range of tissues was comprehensively analyzed by histopathology from 180 individually housed ad libitum-fed or 40% calorically restricted 24-month-old male and female mice of 2 parental strains-DBA/2NNia (D2) and...
