Effects of chronia excess salt ingestion. Evidence that genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility to experimental hypertension

L K DAHL et al. J Exp Med. 1962.

Abstract

Using the genetic technique of selective inbreeding, it has been possible to quickly develop two statistically separable populations from one unselected strain of Sprague-Dawley rats. One of these is very sensitive, the other very resistant, to the development of experimental hypertension from a high salt diet. It was suggested that similar genetic factors operate in man.
