Dahl/Salt Sensitive (Dahl/SS) Rat: This model develops hypertension and renal failure when fed diets with high salt content.

Dahl/Salt Sensitive (Dahl/SS) Rat

SS/JrHsdMcwiCrl

ORIGIN
Inbred from a congenic control group of Dahl/SS rats (SS/JrHsd) obtained from Dr. Theodore Kurtz (UCSF, CA) which were originally derived from the Harlan SS/Jr colony. Maintained at the Medical College of Wisconsin since 1991, this strain has undergone considerable marker-selected breeding to eliminate residual heterozygosity and genetic contamination. To confirm homozygosity, the strain was tested with 200 microsatellite markers (genome-wide scan at 20cM) all of which were homozygous for all regions tested. (Cowley et al. 2000, Physiol. Genomics 2:107-115). To Charles River in 2001.

STRAIN CODE 320

COAT COLOR White (albino)

RESEARCH APPLICATION
hypertension, diastolic heart failure, nephropathy

CONTROL The SS-13BN is the normotensive control for the Dahl/SS rat.

Note: Dahl/SS stock animals are fed AIN-76a .3% sodium diet from weaning (~3 weeks of age) until they are shipped. If you do not want them fed this diet, please let us know at least one week prior to weaning.
