Abstract excerpt
The FHH (fawn-hooded hypertensive) rat is a model of hypertension-associated chronic kidney damage. Five interacting quantitative trait loci (QTLs), named Rf-1-Rf-5, determine the high renal susceptibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate a possible interaction between Rf-1 and Rf-3. Differences in renal susceptibility between ACI (August x Copenhagen Irish) controls, Rf-1A and Rf-3 single...
