Table 1. Litter size and Genotype of weaned pups of low HDL mice: Single and double asterisks indicate reduction of the litter size from Wild x Wild under standard chow as p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively. Underlined Chi-squared p indicates reduction from the expected number by Mendelian genetics by p < 0.05.
