- TRANSGENIC STUDY VASCULAR ROLE OF NEUROPEPTIDE YMichael Michalkiewicz; Fiscal Year: 2002..The NPY overexpressing rats with well defined mutation of the NPY gene will provide a new transgenic animal model of hypertension; such a model should also be very useful for development of new therapies for treating this diseases. ..
