By mating is successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion,a resistant strainhas been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood pressure significantly.In contrast,by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt,a sensitive strainhas also been developed.
The availability of these tow strains permits investgations not heretofore possible.They provide a plausible laboratory model on which to investigate some clinical aspects of the human prototypes of hypertension.More important,there might be the possibility of developing methods by which genetic susceptibility of human beings to high blood pressure can be defined without waiting for its appearance.Radioactive sodium 22 was an important tool in working out the characteristics of the sodium chloride metabolism.
1.The study of the effects of salt on high blood pressure was carried out ______.
a.as members of the same family tend to use similar amounts of salt
b.to explore the long-term use of a sodium based substance
c.because it was proven that salt caused high blood pressure
d.because of the availability of chemically pure salt and its derivatives
2.The main difference between S and R rats is their ______.
a.need for sodium 22
b.rate of mating
c.reaction to salt
d.type of blood
3.We can infer from the article that sodium 22 can de used to ______.
a.control high blood pressure
b.cure high blood pressure caused by salt
c.tell the S rats from the R rats
d.determine what a sodium chloride metabolism is like
4.The most beneficial results of the research might be ______.
a.development of diets free of salt
b.an early cure for high blood pressure
c.control of genetic agents that cause high blood pressure
d.the early identification of potential high blood pressure victims
5.Which of the statements best relates the main idea of this article?
a.When salt is added rats and human beings react similarly.
b.The near future will see a cure for high blood pressure.
c.The medical field is desperately in need of research.
d.A tendency toward high blood pressure may be a hereditary factor.
