title: Kinetics of formation of renotropic growth factor.
abstract: In the Wistar/Furth rat, twenty-four hours after unilateral nephrectomy, the remaining contralateral kidney produces maximum amounts of renotropic growth factors. These factors stimulate tumor growth in recipient rats with s.c. Wilms tumor, but have no effect on kidney weight. In tumor-free recipients, kidney hypotrophy results when the factors are administered.
