Abstract excerpt
The Dahl salt-sensitive (S) rat is a widely studied model of salt-sensitive hypertension and develops proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, and renal interstitial fibrosis. An earlier genetic analysis using a population derived from the S and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) identified eight genomic regions linked to renal injury in the S rat and one protective locus on chromosome 11. The "protective" locus in the...
