Abstract excerpt
We have evaluated the genes for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and guanylyl cyclase A/atrial natriuretic peptide receptor (GCA) for genetic effects on blood pressure response to high salt diet. In F2 rats derived from Milan normotensive and Dahl salt-hypertension sensitive (S) rats, both ACE and GCA cosegregated with blood pressure, and rats that were homozygous for the S allele at both the ACE and GCA loci...
