<p>This December 2008 data set provides estimates of mRNA expression in normal adrenal glands of 31 strains of rats including the hypertensive SHR strain (aka HSR), the normotensive BN strain, and 29 HXB/BXH recombinant inbred strains. Most strains were sampled in quadruplicate (6-week-old males). Animals and tissues were generated by Michal Pravenec and colleagues at the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS). RNA samples were processed at the Max-Delbr&uuml;ck-Center (MDC), Berlin Buch by <a class="fs14" href="http://www.mdc-berlin.de/en/phd_ausbildung/phd_program/TransCard_Research_School/Prospective_Students/Faculty/Genetic_Susceptibility/Norbert_H__bner/index.html" target="_blank">Norbert H&uuml;bner</a> and colleagues. Transcriptome mapping was carried out by Timothy Aitman and colleagues at the Imperial College, London (ICL). Samples were hybridized individually to a total of approximately 124 Affymetrix RAE230A array processed using the RMA protocol. The expression values of each array have been logged and adjusted to a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2 (mean and variance stabilized). This data set complements the kidney and fat data set exploited by H&uuml;bner and colleagues <a class="fs14" href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&amp;db=pubmed&amp;dopt=Abstract&amp;list_uids=15711544" target="_blank">2005</a>.</p>
