title: Development of glomerular fibrinolytic activity in the rat.
abstract: Fibrinolytic activity of the glomeruli was studied in rats of different age using the fibrin-slide technic. In normal rats glomerular fibrinolytic activity (GFA) was relatively low. After a single injection of liquoid (sodium polyanethol sulfonate), a pronounced increase of GFA was evident. The superficial nephrons had a significantly higher GFA than the juxtamedullary nephrons. Compared with rats 2 months of age, rats 2 weeks of age showed a greater GFA in all the glomeruli.
