Liver cholesterol concentration in rats fed a high cholesterol diet, is under genetic control which is supported by significant differences observed among inbred strains. For instance, the Brown Norway (BN-Lx/Cub) rat developed a twofold higher liver cholesterol concentration than the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR/Ola). In the current study, we used 30 recombinant inbred (RI) strains, derived from BN-Lx and SHR progenitors, to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are responsible for differences in liver cholesterol concentrations between the BN-Lx and SHR strains. The heritability of liver cholesterol was estimated to be 0.55 and a significant association was detected between concentration of liver cholesterol and the D10Cebrp1016s2 marker on chromosome 10 (lod score = 3.3); this putative QTL was responsible for nearly 64% of additive genetic variability and thus represents a major genetic determinant of liver cholesterol concentration. Liver cholesterol concentrations significantly correlated with intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) cholesterol levels.
