Abstract excerpt
Expression of a single copy of the rat obesity fatty (fa) gene may affect energy balance. To test this hypothesis, the effects of zero, one, and two copies of fa on early growth were evaluated, using a molecular genetic method for counting fa alleles inherited by 7- and 14-day-old F2 offspring of a BN/Crl x Crl:ZUC-fa F1 intercross. Litter and sex effects were controlled by multiple-regression analysis, allowing...
