Abstract excerpt
A paradigm is developed for identifying the genes (and the biochemical-physiological traits for which the genes code) that cause differences in blood pressure in inbred strains of rats. A biochemical-physiological trait which meets the following four criteria is one which can reasonably be accepted as causing genetic differences in blood pressure: 1) a difference in a biochemical or physiological trait between...
