Other studies have suggested that the RAS also may play roles in diseases of chronic inflammation. However, whether the RAS also can mediate acute inflamm
When an ∼30 centiMorgan (cM) region of chromosome 13 containing the renin gene from the Dahl salt‐resistant rat (R) was introgressed into the Dahl salt‐sensitive rat (S), the resulting congenic rat (designated S.R__‐Ren__) had a systolic blood pressure on a 2% (w/w) salt diet that was 24 mmHg lower
