Abstract excerpt
A concept proposed by Berg (Berg, K. 1989. Arteriosclerosis. 9: I-50-I-58) is that a combination of level and variability genes determine an individual's overall plasma lipid levels and atherosclerotic risk. Our goal was to determine which inbred mouse strains could be used to identify candidate...
