Abstract excerpt
The angiotensin type 1a (AT1a) receptor gene is overexpressed in the brain and peripheral tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We examined whether there are mutations responsible for overexpression of the AT1a receptor gene in the SHR AT1a receptor promoter region. Genomic DNA was extracted from the livers of SHR and Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) of Izumo strain (SHR/Izm and WKY/Izm, respectively)....
