Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To study the regulation of a naturally occurring genetic variant of high angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene (Ace in rat) expression, i.e., the Ace allele of the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat, in the hypertensive background of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP) rats. METHODS: We analyzed a congenic strain termed SHRSP.WKY-Ace derived from SHRSP in which a chromosomal fragment...
