Abstract excerpt
In search of an experimental model that would simulate the association between proteinuria and salt sensitivity in humans, we studied protein excretion in the Sabra rat model of salt susceptibility. Monthly measurements of urinary protein excretion in animals fed standard rat chow revealed that normotensive salt-sensitive SBH/y developed proteinuria that averaged 65 +/- 7 mg/day (n = 10) at 9 mo, whereas...
