Is Wild Type | false |
description | Congenic mice B10.LP-H3bH13b/(36NS)Sn carry an LP/J-derived portion of chromosome 2 containing histocompatibility loci H3 and H13 on a C57BL/10SnJ background. These congenics display a 7% decrease in body weight, 66% decrease in retroperitoneal fat pad weight, 35% decrease in percent body fat, and 27% lower fasting plasma insulin. |
molecularNote | This allele confers decreased body weight, percent body fat, retroperitoneal fat pad weight, and reduced fasting plasma insulin compared to C57BL/10SnJ. |
