Abstract excerpt

Using DNA fingerprint analyses, extensive molecular heterogeneity has been found between spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), suggesting a doubtful value of simply comparing these rats in the study of the pathogenesis of genetic hypertension. Therefore, we evaluated...
