Strain: FH

Symbol: FH
Strain: FH
RGD ID: 68036
Citation ID: RRID:RGD_68036
Ontology ID: RS:0000316
Alleles: Rab38ru

Coat Color: Fawn hooded.
Inbred Generations: F33
Last Known Status: Unknown

Substrains

strain_life_disease Good reproductive performance (Greenhouse et al 1991). Mild bleeding diathesis caused by autosomal dominant (? see below) gene, which is exacerbated by trauma and surgery and increases with age. Variable platelet aggregation defects and reduced platelet ATP, ATP/ADP ratio, and serotonin content and release (Raymond and Dodds 1975). Humoural immunity and compelment activity normal, but aged animals appear susceptible to infection. There is glomerular sclerosis early in life, with proteinurea as early as 10-12 weeks, which gradually progresses with age. At one year, FH rats have kidneys with lesions like those of 2-year old Sprague Dawley or Wistar rats (Kreisberg and Karnovsky 1978, Dodds 1988). Urizar et al (1984) suggest that the platlet defect and the nephropathy are unrelated, and the latter does not seem to be mediated by immune complexes. Moreover, the nephropathy progresses without imparement of renal function Prieur and Meyers (1984) have shown that the platelet storage pool defect is a pleiotropic effect of the red-eyed dilution gene r, and that both coat colour and the platelet defect are inherited as autosomal recessive (not dominant) characters. Platelets are less reactive to collagen than those of normal rats (Magro et al, 1992). Outbred Nmh:FAWN HOODED rats developed spontaneous hypertension (Rudofsky and Magro 1982). 1004
