Scientists breed special rats to learn more about hypertension

the researchers work to learn more about how salt intake affects blood pressure in both men and women.

"We'll see if there are differences between males and females in how they respond to treatments and whether they are salt-sensitive," said Chappell. "About half of people with hypertension have increased pressure when they consume high levels of salt and we don't know why."

This research is funded by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the American Heart Association. The new strain of so-called "designer" rats are created by transferring one or several specific genes of interest to a recipient rat and allows scientists to better learn how genes may work together to cause cardiovascular disease in humans.
