Compensatory renal growth symposium: An introduction

Compensatory renal growth after unilateral ureteral obstruction.

Compensatory renal growth after unilateral ureteral obstruction. The accumulation of bulk renal protein, RNA and DNA was studied in mice during a 35-day period of accelerated renal growth in the kidney contralateral to that obstructed by acute ureteral ligation. Control mice were sham-operated and nonoperated. RNA was determined by the method of Monroe and Fleck, DNA after Ceriotti and protein ...

Compensatory and obligatory renal growth in rats.

SILBER, SHERMAN, AND RICHARD L. MALVIN. Compensatory and obligatory renal growth in rats. Am. J. Physiol. 226(l) : 114-l 17. 1974.-Renal size and function were studied in three groups of rats in an attempt to gain information relating to the control of renal size. One group consisted of normal rats into which a third kidney was transplanted; a second group consisted of unilaterally nephrectomiz...

Metabolic Response to Renal Compensatory Growth

Forty-eight hours after unilateral nephrectomy in young male Sprague-Dawley rats the concentrations of free methionine, alanine and tyrosine in renal cortical tissue were increased by 15-65 percent while the corresponding plasma concentrations decreased by 23-35 percent. The renal cortical concentrations of valine and leucine increased by 41 percent and 26 percent while plasma concentrations re...

SYMPOSIUM Ecological Epigenetics: An Introduction to the Symposium

Symposium Introduction

For the interventionalist, intracoronary thrombus remains an important marker for the presence of an acute coronary syndrome as well as a harbinger of potential complications during the percutaneous procedure. Acute complications include myocardial infarction either new and/or recurrent related to coronary embolization, slow coronary flow or acute closure and long term complications include sub...
