THE DEGREE OF COMPENSATORY RENAL HYPERTROPHY FOLLOWING UNILATERAL NEPHRECTOMY : II. THE INFLUENCE OF THE PROTEIN INTAKE.
Compensatory hypertrophy of the kidney in albino rats is increased by an increase in the protein intake. The effect is greater in old rats than young rats. Successive increases in the protein intake are followed by a reduction in the increase in the degree of compensatory renal hypertrophy.
