Data changelog No updates/corrections.       Initial release date: 01/2008.
An intercross of PERA/EiJ and I/LnJ was generated to identify cholesterol gallstone susceptibility loci. F2 progeny of both sexes were administered a high-fat (15%) diet for 8 wks and examined for gallstone formation and related phenotypes. Gallstones were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively, and lipid profiles determined for plasma samples. Mice were fasted prior to sample collection. For detailed protocols see Wittenburg et al 2003.
