Abstract excerpt
Random genome screening was initiated in the Sabra rat model of hypertension in search of genes that account for salt sensitivity or salt resistance in terms of the development of hypertension. Female salt-sensitive Sabra hypertension-prone (SBH/y) rats were crossed with male salt-resistant Sabra...
