Project Diet effects on gallstone formation and the assessment of liver morphology, plasma lipids, and atherosclerosis in 44 inbred strains of mice on high-fat atherogenic diet (not under pathogen-free conditions)

All animals were fed a high-fat (15% fat) diet for 8 wks. Blood chemistry and cholesterol were measured. After sac, a pathology review of livers and gallbladders was conducted.

Study design: all mice subjected to an intervention; 1 cohort.
44 strains tested     female male     Test age: 15-19wks

Strain and animal info
Note
Mice were housed in a non-barrier facility during the acclimation and testing periods. Three pathogens were detected during this time: Pneumocystis, Pasturella, and Helicobacter. Pathogen-accelerated atherosclerosis was observed in these studies. These results are in contrast to a similar study conducted in a pathogen-free facility (Paigen2).

Similar data are available for 6 mutant strains compared to C57BL/6J and C57BLKS/J; see Paigen3 (identical C57BL/6J and C57BLKS/J data are present in both data sets).

This project includes a collection of browsable liver pathology images.

Note
Caution: Very low sample sizes (N < 3) are present. [View table]
Note
Some measurements were derived by MPD staff,
based on supplied data. [View list]
Note
Some measurements are not eligible for all-MPD pheno vs. pheno
correlations due to data characteristics or semantics [View list]
