Description
C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) mice were fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet in order to investigate the responses to that diet over time and their underlying genetic factors. We observed distinctly diverse responses between B6 and D2 mice, including dynamic distribution of cholesterol in serum and bile, hepatic apoptosis and dynamic formation of gallstones and atherosclerosis.
