Genetic divergence between the Wistar-Kyoto rat and the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
A method of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was used to estimate the amount of genetic divergence between the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) strain and the Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) strain. DNA from each strain was digested with eight restriction endonucleases and hybridized with six single copy gene sequences. The number of hybridization bands in each digestion was used...
متن کاملGenetic architecture of Wistar-Kyoto rat and spontaneously hypertensive rat substrains from different sources.
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) has been widely used as a model for studies of hypertension and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The inbred Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat, derived from the same ancestral outbred Wistar rat as the SHR, are normotensive and have been used as the closest genetic control for the SHR, although the WKY has also been used as a model for depression. Notably, ...
متن کاملDifferences in striatal spiny neuron action potentials between the spontaneously hypertensive and Wistar-Kyoto rat strains.
The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) inbred rat strains display behavioral differences characterized by relative increases and decreases in levels of activity. Both strains have subsequently been utilized as animal models of hyperactive and hypoactive behavioral traits. The etiology of these behavioral characteristics is poorly understood, but may stem from altera...
متن کاملAge-related changes in fibronectin expression in spontaneously hypertensive, Wistar-Kyoto, and Wistar rat hearts.
The effects of age and blood pressure on fibronectin expression in the rat heart were studied in the normotensive Wistar and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) strains and in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Fibronectin mRNA expression decreased threefold between 10 and 40 weeks of age in Wistar hearts, with changes of similar magnitude occurring between 6 and 24 weeks in WKY rats. In contrast, no dec...
متن کاملComparison of subcellular distribution of mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase between stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat and Wistar Kyoto rat.
We previously reported that the lower activity of mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase (MPD) was caused by the reduced amount of this enzyme in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) by immunoblot analysis using 20,000 x g supernatant containing cytosol and microsomes. A recent study showed that at least three different subcellular compartments, including peroxisomes, are involve...
