ABSTRACT
Many different animal models have been used to study hypertension, and diverse species have been chosen. Probably the most commonly used is the rat, not only on account of its comparatively low maintenance cost and easy handling, but because the pathology developed in these animals is quite similar to that observed in humans. Some results obtained from experiments done at this Institute with some of these models are discussed in this paper.
