To investigate whether molecular variation in the renin gene contributes to the greater blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) versus normotensive Brown Norway (BN) rats, we measured blood pressure in an SHR progenitor strain and an SHR congenic strain that are genetically identi...
