Genetic regulation of pre-pubertal development of body mass index: a longitudinal study of Japanese twin boys and girls.

abstract：:Two ongoing selective breeding projects have produced mice that display divergent analgesic responses to morphine. These two projects have selected for similar phenotypes: high and low levorphanol analgesia (HAR/LAR lines; Portland, OR) and high and low swim stress-induced analgesia (HA/LA lines; Jastrzebiec, Poland)....
