Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetics of high blood pressure (BP) has revealed causes of hypertension. The cause of normotension, however, is poorly understood. Inbred Lewis rats sustain normotension despite a genetic push in altering BP. It was unknown whether this rigid resistance to BP changes is because of an insufficient hypertensive impact from limited alleles of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) or because of an existence of...
