| Research Abstract |
The responsible genes for dietary induced hypercholesterolemia separately exist on 14^<th> and 5^<th> chromosomes of rats. The gene on the 14^<th> chromosome is SMEK2. SMEK2 affects on the triacylglycerol synthesis in the liver according to the data from a congenic strain of Ex. BN-Dihc2 rats and transcriptome analysis applied on the two strains. The number of candidate gene(s) on the 5^<th> chromosome is still 245 genes.
