LOD score plots for fasting glucose, HDL, and non-HDL cholesterol of F2 mice fed the Western diet on chromosome 9. Plots were created with the interval mapping function of Map Manager QTX. The histogram in the plot estimates the confidence interval for a QTL. Two green vertical lines represent genome-wide significance thresholds for suggestive or significant linkage (P = 0.63 and P = 0.05, respectively). Black plots reflect the LOD score calculated at 1-cM intervals, the red plot represents the effect of the BALB allele, and the blue plot represents the effect of the SM allele. If BALB represents the high allele, then the red plot will be to the right of the graph; otherwise, it will be to the left
