Common Genetic Mechanisms of Blood Pressure Elevation in Two Independent Rodent Models of Human Essential Hypertension
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies of essential hypertension, a complex, polygenic, and age-dependent disorder, have not been able to completely elucidate the genes responsible for development of the trait. We used a novel strategy to compare gene expression in the adrenal gland of two independent rodent models of human essential hypertension (the spontaneously hypertensive rat, SHR, and the blood pressure high mouse, BPH), with...
