Abstract excerpt
The breast-feeding neonate depends on mother's milk for both macronutrients and micronutrients including minerals. The goals of the present study were to document the effects of genetic background in mice on milk concentrations of select minerals and to use genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) regulating milk mineral concentrations. Milk samples from lactating mice in...
