2022-02-11
Abstract excerpt
The Syndrome of Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess (SAME) is a hypertensive disorder caused by deficiency of 11b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2. Blood pressure is directly influenced by dietary salt intake, but the causes of salt-sensitivity are not fully resolved. We modelled SAME in Fischer 344 rats, using zinc finger nuclease targeting of the Hsd11b2 gene. The F344 genetic background showed modest salt sens...
