QTL for renal and cardiac function during Angiotensin II and high-sodium treatment of a backcross between C57BL/6J-to-Balb/CJ-F1 and Balb/CJ

ABSTRACT: Balb/CJ mice develop heart failure and quickly decompensate during combination treatment with Angiotensin II and high-sodium diet, while C57BL/6J mice do not. Balb/CJ show a predominantly diastolic heart failure, signs of increased pulmonary pressure, relative sodium and fluid retention, peripheral edema and decompensate with anuria in a cardiorenal syndrome. A F1 cross between the strains have a similar phenotype as C57BL/6J, i.e. is protected. The present study used a second generation backcross of the F1-generation to Balb/CJ and pheotyped a wide variety of renal and circulatory and cardiac traits, identifying 9 new QTL.
