J:170533

The mice used in this study were from the F16 generation of

the LG/J X SM/J Advanced Intercross Line (Wustl:LG,SM-G16).

The authors indicated 70 trait-specific QTL mapping to 64 locations,

and of these 70 a total of 17 are significant at the genome-wide level. Fifty three are significant at the chromosome level.

The 17 genome wide significant QTL are indicated with an '*' and can be viewed here on their respective chromosome mapping records (NCBI37/mm9).

The authors mentioned that phenotypic variation in response to glucosestresswas indicated by using an intraperitoneal injection of 0.01 ml of 10% glucose solution per

gram of body weight. The measurements taken over the course of 2 hours were used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC), which was used as overall measure of glucose tolerance.

Phenotypes were as follows:

AUC_10wks indicates under the curve at 10 weeks

AUC_20wks indicates area under the curve at 20 weeks

bGLC_10wks indicates basal glucose level at 10 weeks

bGLC_20wks indicates basal glucose level at 20 weeks,

GLC indicates serum glucose level at necropsy

INS indicates serum insulin level at necropsy
