Hintergrund: Die Körperlänge wird maßgeblich vom Wachstum der Wirbelsäule bestimmt.
Bei Untersuchungen an der Wirbelsäule von BB. 4Sd1-und BB. 4Sd2-Ratten wurden …

Two populations of skeletal muscle mitochondria have been described, intermyofibrillar and
subsarcolemmal. These two populations meditate increased aerobic capacity caused by …

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to characterize age related bone lose in male and
female mice lacking one functional copy of the Brd2 gene. These mice will develop age …

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease that affects individuals by causing bone quality to
ultimately decrease, and therefore, makes these individuals more susceptible to fractures …

The F344 rat carries alleles contributing to bone fragility while the GK rat spontaneously
develops type-2 diabetes. These characteristics make F344× GK crosses well suited for the …

Four lines of mice derived from the CBi stock, selected for different body conformations (CBi-
, low body weight–short tail; CBi+, high body weight–long tail; CBi/L, low body weight–long …

Methodik: Der Diabetes-QTL Nidd/SJL wurde durch sukzessive Rückkreuzung auf den
Kontrollstamm C57BL/6 transferiert. Zum Erreichen des für den Diabetes erforderlichen …

We explored age-and strain-related differences in bone microstructure and body
composition in male C57BL/6J, DBA/2JRj and C3H/J mice. Bone microstructure of the femur …

Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting body weight were investigated in the backcross
population derived from nondiabetic BB/OK and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) …

BMD is highly heritable; however, little is known about the genes. To identify loci controlling
BMD, we conducted a QTL analysis in a (B6× 129) F2 population of mice. We report on …
