Abstract excerpt
We have studied cardiovascular and renal phenotypes in Npr1 (genetic determinant of natriuretic peptide receptor-A; NPRA) gene-disrupted mutant mouse model. The baseline systolic arterial pressure (SAP) in 0-copy mutant (-/-) mice (143 +/- 2 mmHg) was significantly higher than in 2-copy wild-type (+/+) animals (104 +/- 2 mmHg); however, the SAP in 1-copy heterozygotes (+/-) was at an intermediate value (120 +/- 4...
