Abstract excerpt
Whether genetics may play a role in the pathophysiologic response of kidney tubules to oxalate exposure remains unexplored despite that as many as 15% of the U.S. population annually will experience a kidney stone composed of calcium oxalate. To explore this issue, we utilized a panel of chromosome substitution strains in which one chromosome at a time was transferred from the Brown Norway (BN) rat onto the Dahl...
