  1. The maximal TH interval retained is marked by the most proximal and distal primers with known B6 homozygous genotypes for a given donor region. The minimal TH interval retained is marked by the most proximal and distal primers with known TH homozygous genotypes for a given donor region. Fat pad weight is the sum of five fat pad weights (inguinal, epididymal, mesenteric, retroperitoneal including perirenal, and subscapular). Data are means ± SEM. Group means labeled with different letters are significantly different within a diet (P < 0.05)
