2004 DEC 27 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Scientists have characterized murine body weight QTLs, Bwq1 and Bwq2, identified in C57BL/6J x KK-A[superscript]y/a F[subscript]2-A[superscript]y/a mice.
"Body weight quantitative trait loci (QTLs), Bwq1 and Bwq2, identified previously in C57BL/6J x KK-A[superscript]y/a F[subscript]2-A[superscript]y/a mice, were further confirmed and characterized. Body weight measurement was done from 21 days after birth (Day 21) through Day 100, at 10-day intervals. Bwq1 was statistically significant only on Days 40, 50, and 60, whereas Bwq2 was statistically significant on and after Day 40. When body weight gain (WG) between two ...
