Abstract
Animal models which simulate human diseases are useful for two reasons: (1) to study the pathogenesis of the disorder and (2) to investigate means by which the pathological state can be controlled. Hypertension is one of the few human diseases that can be reproduced in experimental animals, and, as in man, high blood pressure may be the primary manifestation of a genetic disorder or the consequence of some other pathological event. Hence, we may distinguish also in animals between primary and secondary hypertension just as is done in cases of human hypertension.
