Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests that genetic background plays an important role in the development of progressive glomerulosclerosis. The remnant kidney model (RKM) of progressive renal disease has been used extensively in rats. However, C57BL/6 mice are resistant to glomerulosclerosis with RKM induced by either pole amputation or renal artery ligation. A pole resection protocol, applied in 129/Sv mice,...
