Abstract excerpt
Loci linked to sensitivity to dietary obesity were identified by Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis of two mapping populations derived from a cross between AKR/J and SWR/J mice. AKR/J mice are sensitive to dietary obesity when fed a high fat diet while SWR/J mice are resistant. Intercrosses between these strains segregate the phenotype of sensitivity to dietary obesity. Using an F2 mapping population of 931...
