M. Pravenec et al., HXB/Ipcv and BXH/Cub recombinant inbred strains of the rat: Strain distribution patterns of 632 alleles, FOL BIOL, 45(5), 1999, pp. 203-215
The HXB/Ipcv and BXH/Cub sets of recombinant inbred (RI) strains were deriv
ed from the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR/OlaIpcv) and normotensive
Brown Norway (BN-Lx/Cub) rats. The RI strains were produced as a model syst
em for genetic and correlation analysis of spontaneous hypertension and oth
er risk factors of cardiovascular disease such as insulin resistance and dy
slipidemia. The RI strains were phenotyped in multiple hemodynamic and meta
bolic traits. In the current study, we describe strain distribution pattern
s of 632 genetic markers.
