Genetic loci controlling body fat, lipoprotein metabolism, and insulin levels in a multifactorial mouse model.
1 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the inheritance of body fat, leptin levels, plasma lipoprotein levels, insulin levels, and related traits in an intercross between inbred mouse strains CAST/Ei and C57BL/6J. CAST/Ei mice are unusually lean, with only approximately 8% of body weight as fat, whereas C57BL/6J mice have approximately 18% body fat. Quantitative trait locus analysis using > 200 F2 mice revealed highly significant loci (lod...
