Open AccessZbtb16 has a role in brown adipocyte bioenergetics
A better understanding of the processes influencing energy expenditure could provide new therapeutic strategies for reducing obesity. As the metabolic activity of the brown adipose tissue (BAT) and skeletal mu...

A genome-wide panel of congenic mice reveals widespread epistasis of behavior quantitative trait loci
Understanding the genetics of behavioral variation remains a fascinating but difficult problem with considerable theoretical and practical implications. We used the genome-tagged mice (GTM) and an extensive te...

Identification of ALOX5 as a gene regulating adiposity and pancreatic function
We previously used an integrative genetics approach to demonstrate that 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) deficiency in mice (Alox5 −/−) protects against atherosclerosis despite increasing lipid levels and ...

The Functional Consequences of Polymorphisms in the Human PON1 Gene
Early research on population distributions of plasma PON1 paraoxonase activity indicated a polymorphic distribution with high, intermediate and low metabolizers. Cloning and characterization of the cDNA encodi...

Hepatocellular carcinoma in Txnip-deficient mice
The molecular pathogenesis and the genetic aberrations that lead to the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the thioredoxin interacting protein (Txnip) gen...

Erratum: Integrating genotypic and expression data in a segregating mouse population to identify 5-lipoxygenase as a susceptibility gene for obesity and bone traits
Nat. Genet. 37, 1224–1233 (2005). The first sentence of the first paragraph in the Results section should begin, “In the BXD cross, female F2 mice homozygous with respect to the DBA/2J (DBA) allele at the Alox...

A locus on the X Chromosome is linked to body length in mice
Linkage between body length (anus to nose (AN) length) and three markers on the mouse X Chromosome was found in an interspecific backcross ((C57BL/6J x Mus spretus) Fl x C57BL/6J), designated BSB. A cross of 409 ...

Genetics of complex diseases: from mouse to man and back
Identification of genes underlying complex (non-Mendelian) traits, which include diseases such as IBD, has been an important and difficult problem in genetics. However, new tools and methods have brought on a ...

Modified Lipoproteins and Atherogenesis
A number of studies have shown that oxidized lipoproteins are present in the artery wall and that the amount of oxidized lipid is increased in the atherosclerotic plaque (Palinski et al. 1989; Haberland et al....

The Low Leukocyte (LLC) Mouse, a Second Model of “Senescence -Accelerated” Amyloidosis Associated with Apolipoprotein All Pro5→GLN; Prevalence of this Substitution Among Inbred Strains of Mice
The LLC/CKC mouse was developed from a hybrid stock derived by cross-breeding C57BL/6J, C57BR/CdJ, A/J, BALB/cJ, LLC/Ckc and SM/Ckc mice screened for low leukocyte counts (4-5000/mm3) over 22 generations. 100%...

Induction of endothelial cell expression of granulocyte and macrophage colony-stimulating factors by modified low-density lipoproteins
OXIDIZED lipoproteins have been identified in atherosclerotic plaques1,2 and in early lesions3,4 in humans as well as in animals. There is accumulating evidence that such oxidized lipoproteins have an important r...
