Abstract excerpt
Rats with a high number of superficial nephrons (MWF/Ztm) also show an elevated urinary protein excretion and a high systolic blood pressure. To investigate a possible correlation between the number of superficial glomeruli and these physiological changes, MWF/Ztm rats were crossed and backcrossed to Wistar cryptorchic (WC/Ztm) animals with no superficial nephrons in order to produce genotypes with differing...
