Does adenine-induced chronic renal failure cause salt-sensitive hypertension and increased aortic stiffness in rats?
Adenine-induced chronic renal failure in rats leads to low-renin, salt-sensitive hypertension and increased aortic stiffness, providing a useful model for studying cardiovascular complications of CKD.
Nguy et al. (2013) studied this question.
