Slowly Progressive, Angiotensin II–Independent Glomerulosclerosis in Human (Pro)renin Receptor–Transgenic Rats
9 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
For defining the pathogenic effects of the (pro)renin receptor-transgenic rat, strains that overexpressed the human receptor were generated. Although transgenic rats were normotensive and euglycemic and had a renal angiotensin II (AngII) level that was comparable to that of wild-type rats, transgenic rats developed proteinuria with aging and significant glomerulosclerosis at 28 wk of age. In kidneys of 28-wk-old...
