Abstract excerpt
Lith genes control susceptibility to cholesterol gallstone formation in inbred strains of mice on a lithogenic diet containing high fat, high cholesterol and 0.5% cholic acid. Our study defines the physical-chemical phenotypes of C57L, AKR, and (C57L x AKR) F1 mouse gallbladder biles during 56 da...
