Abstract excerpt
Genetic animal models are central to ongoing efforts to elucidate the pathophysiology and genetic basis of hypertension. The rat is the leading species in experimental hypertension. Several rat models of hypertension are available for research, including inbred strains, congenic lines, transgenic animals and recombinant inbred strains. Each of these models has been designed to express different phenotypes,...
