title: The influence of salt intake on glomerular count in compensatory kidney hypertrophy in rats of different ages.
abstract: Drinking saline instead of water elevated the glomerular count in hypertrophied kidneys of rats uninephrectomized as adults. No changes occurred in glomerular concentration in kidney tissue indicating a more marked increase of other kidney structures. This procedure was ineffective in immature animals.
