Lab Animal Diet and Hypertension

Some research suggests that
hypertension may lead to atherosclerosis.
Calcium-based and fatty deposits
typically form in areas of the arteries
weakened by high blood pressure or
strain. The consequent narrowing of the
arteries then makes blood pressure that
is already high even higher.

All of these conditions have about the same effect on
circulation, causing high blood pressure and ultimately leading
to angina, heart attack, stroke, and/or sudden cardiac death.

We have designed numerous diets to promote hypertension (e.g., elevated sodium diets) and/or
dyslipidemia (e.g. increased cholesterol, cholic acid and certain fatty acids), which may
promote atherosclerosis and ultimately cardiovascular disease. Particular diets that may be of
interest are the "Clinton/Cybulsky Cholesterol Study Diets" and the "Paigen Diets". See diet # D12336. In the Charles River Laboratories Dahl/SS rat, diet # D10001 is used to induce
environmental hypertension.

needs because, this is what we do.
