I was reading about the animal model and Wistar rats and saw that there may be specific strains of animals (generally rats) better suited for some conditions. So, I was wondering if there any strains that are better suited for the study of cardiovascular diseases, or for the study of nutritional supplements.
Thank you!
dear Marco Antonio Vaconcelos
The strain of rat to conduct expriment is wistar rat, but you can also use sprague dawley rat strain. the better way to chose the strain is to see the research article published in rescent year, so you can decide which strain will be beneficial for your research expriment.

Hi Marcos,
Well, for experiments with nutritional supplements are better rats (SD or Wistar) but, to study cardiovascular diseases, depende, you can use rats, dogs or mini pigs.
