Summary

Total exchangeable sodium (Nac) was measured in NZ genetically hypertensive (GH) rats, random bred normotensives (N), Japanese spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats WKY. SHR rats were found to have significantly higher Nac than any of the other 3 strains. This confirms results previously obtained using a different method for Nac measurements.
