Summary
Wistar Kyoto rats (WKy), the most widely accepted control for SH rats, show an inability to excrete acid appropriately when compared to another normotensive strain, SD. Coupled with the fact that KWy also develops ‘sodium-sensitive’ hypertension, this makes them a more complex control than realized. At very young ages (<10-week-old), neither SH nor WKy show any deficiency in acid excretion.
