Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Despite the success of human genome-wide association studies, the specific genes that confer obesity remain largely unknown. The objective of this study was to use outbred rats to identify the genetic loci underlying obesity and related morphometric and metabolic traits. METHODS: This study measured obesity-relevant traits, including body...
