Abstract excerpt
Details of a new model of diet-dependent polygenic obesity are presented. CAST/Ei (Mus m. castaneus) mice remain lean after 12 weeks on a high-fat (32 kcal% fat) diet, while C57BL/6J mice become obese. The genes responsible for the obesity segregate in an F2 population derived from an intercross...
