Abstract excerpt
We have previously established a transgenic rat model termed TGR(hET-2)37 overexpressing the human endothelin-2 (ET-2) gene with high renal transgene expression. This renal overexpression is of pathophysiological interest because a long-term activated paracrine renal endothelin system has been implicated in chronic renal failure due to progressive glomerular injury. Therefore, our aim in the present study was to...
