2022-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The Berlin Fat Mouse Inbred line (BFMI) is a model for obesity and the metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to identify genetic variants associated with liver weight, liver triglycerides, and body weight using the obese BFMI sub-line BFMI861-S1. BFMI861-S1 mice are insulin resistant and store ectopic fat in the liver. Methods In generation 10, 58 males and 65 females of the advanced intercro...
