Abstract excerpt
-Previous studies suggested that atrial natriuretic peptide gene (Anp) and brain natriuretic peptide gene (Bnp) are plausible candidate genes for susceptibility to stroke and for sensitivity to brain ischemia in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP). We performed structural and functional analyses of these 2 genes in SHRSP from Glasgow colonies (SHRSPGla) and Wistar-Kyoto rats from Glasgow...
