Effect of high- and low-nitrogen diets on cell ultrastructure in the cortical part of the ovine kidney.
The ultrastructure of cells of the renal cortex was studied in two groups of sheep fed a low- and a high-nitrogen diet, respectively. In the low-nitrogen group alterations were detected on the mitochondria. In the cells of the proximal and distal tubules, dilatation of the endoplasmic reticulum as well as vacuolation of the cytoplasm could be observed.
