Abstract excerpt
1. The HXB/BXH recombinant inbred (RI) strains, derived from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the normotensive Brown Norway (BN.1x) rat, represent a very useful system for gene mapping and for genetic analysis of certain model diseases, such as spontaneous hypertension. 2. These RI strains were genotyped in multiple genetic polymorphisms and characterized in blood pressure and some intermediate...
