Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To estimate, in male quail susceptible to atherosclerotic plaque formation (SUS) fed a regular diet and an atherogenic diet, the genetic and phenotypic parameters associated with antioxidant enzymes and atherogenesis. DESIGN: Genetic parameters were estimated from variance components of the analysis of variance on 70 males from 13 full-sib families. MAIN RESULTS: Under the regular diet, seven of 35...
