A genetic cross was constructed from two parental inbred strains of mice, NZB/BINJ and SM/J, which differ markedly in their plasma lipoprotein levels. Plasma lipid and apolipoprotein values were measured in 184 F2 progeny on a normal chow diet and on an atherogenic diet. Genetic markers were typed at 126 loci spanning all chromosomes except the Y. Statistical analysis revealed significant linkage or suggestive linkage of lipoprotein levels with markers on a number of chromosomes. Chromosome 1 markers were linked to levels of total cholesterol (lod 5.9) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (lod 8.1), chromosome 5 markers were linked to levels of total cholesterol (lod 6.7) and HDL cholesterol (lod 5.6), and chromosome 7 markers were linked to levels of total plasma triglycerides (lod 5.1) and free fatty acids (lod 5.6). Plasma apoAII levels were linked to the apoAII gene (lod score 19.6) and were highly correlated with plasma HDL cholesterol levels (r = 0.63, P = 0.0001), indicating that apoAII expression influences HDL cholesterol levels. Molecular studies suggested that structural differences in the apoAII polypeptide of the two strains may contribute to differences in clearance of the protein.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
