Females of spontaneously hypertensive (SHR strain) and normotensive rats (WKY strain and Wistar) received drinking water with normal (80 mg/liter) or reduced concentration of Ca(2+)(8 mg/liter). Activity of calcium-dependent calpain protease in neurons did not differ in 18-day-old rat pups born and suckled by these animals. Our results are consistent with published data on normal metabolism of SHR rats up to the age of 30 days.
