What Does NWR Stand For?
NWR stands for Normotensive Wistar Rat
NWR stands for Normotensive Wistar Rat, a widely used laboratory strain of rat characterized by normal blood pressure levels. This model is essential for research in cardiovascular physiology, pharmacology, and hypertension studies, allowing scientists to investigate health and disease mechanisms without the confounding effects of hypertension. NWRs are favored for their genetic consistency, ease of handling, and well-documented biological background, making them valuable tools in preclinical research.
