Genetic background of different mouse strains determines their susceptibility to disease. We have previously shown that Balb/CJ and C57BL/6J mice develop cardiac hypertrophy to the same degree when treated with a combination of angiotensin II and high-salt diet (ANG II+Salt), but only Balb/CJ show impaired cardiac function associated with edema development and substantial mortality. We hypothesized that the different response to ANG II+Salt is due to the different genetic backgrounds of Balb/CJ ...[more]
