Abstract excerpt
Two novel strains of rats have recently been generated from hybrid crosses of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. The breeding pairs chosen to create these strains were initially selected on the basis of two mutually exclusive phenotypic traits, so that the rats cal...
