Recently, some these variants have been established with effects on general metabolic phenotypes such as glucose response and bone strength. In this study, we examined both genetic variants across 40 strains of BXD and the two founder lines, in addition to a major environmental influence—long term feeding with chow diet (CD) or high fat diet (HFD)—to see how metabolic gene expression varies by genotype and environment, and gene-by-environment interactions. The basic heart phenotypes quantified in these cohorts were not affected by HFD feeding (e.g. blood pressure and heart rate). </p>
