Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that one of the primary events in the development of essential hypertension is a growth-related process initiated as early as during fetal development. Differences in kidney size have been observed between most rat models of hypertension and their respective controls. In this study, we analyzed relative kidney size (kidney weight/body wt) in a set of rat recombinant inbred strains (RIS) (N =...
