Abstract excerpt
The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a unique genetic model of severe hypertension and cerebral stroke. SHRSP, as well as the spontaneously hypertensive rat, the parental strain of SHRSP, has made a tremendous contribution to cardiovascular research. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying hypertension and stroke in these rats have not yet been clarified. Recent studies using whole-genome...
