Abstract excerpt
Mice of the C57BL/6ByJ (B6) strain have higher consumption of sucrose, and stronger peripheral neural responses to it, than do mice of the 129P3/J (129) strain. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for this strain difference and to evaluate the contribution of peripheral taste responsiveness to individual differences in sucrose intake, we produced an intercross (F2) of 627 mice, measured their...
