Rats Transgenic for Human Renin and Human Angiotensinogen as a Model for Gestational Hypertension
1 Nov 2000

Animal models of gestational hypertension are problematic. A novel mouse model was described earlier. The dams in that study were transgenic for human angiotensinogen and the sires for human renin; human renin was expressed in and produced by the placenta.
