Primary Identifier | MGI:3845221 | Allele Type | QTL |
Gene | Obrq13 | Strain of Origin | A/J |
Is Recombinase | false | Is Wild Type | false |
description | Obrq13 was identified in a male population of subcongenic mice. |
molecularNote | This allele confers resistance to diet-induced obesity and steatosis, decreased plasma cholesterol, decreased fasting plasma glucose and insulin, and decreased insulin resistance on a high fat simple carbohydrate diet compared to C57BL/6J. This allele also confers resistance to steatosis and decreased plasma triglyceride levels on a low fat simple carbohydrate diet compared to C57BL/6J. |
