Compensatory renal growth after unilateral nephrectomy in the ovine fetus.
Unilateral nephrectomy of the adult animal results in compensatory renal growth but does not involve formation of new nephrons. It is not clear whether compensatory growth can occur during the period of active nephrogenesis in utero and if so, whether more nephrons can be formed. Male ovine fetuses (n = 20) underwent unilateral nephrectomy (n = 10) or sham nephrectomy (n = 10) at 100 d of gesta...
متن کاملCompensatory 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 ...
متن کاملCompensatory glomerular growth after unilateral nephrectomy is VEGF dependent.
Various growth factors and cytokines have been implicated in different forms of kidney enlargement. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is essential for normal renal development and plays a role in diabetic glomerular enlargement. To explore a possible role for VEGF in compensatory renal changes after uninephrectomy, we examined the effect of a neutralizing VEGF-antibody (VEGF-Ab) on glom...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes and nestin expression accompanying compensatory renal growth after unilateral nephrectomy in adult rats
BACKGROUND Several renal disorders affect the glomerular podocytes. Compensatory structural and functional changes have been observed in animals that have undergone unilateral renal ablation. These changes occur as a pliant response to quench the increased functional demand to maintain homeostasis of fluid and solutes. Nestin is an intermediate filament protein present in the glomerular podocyt...
متن کاملThe Degree of Compensatory Renal Hypertrophy following Unilateral Nephrectomy
Compensatory hypertrophy of the kidney in albino rats becomes less as age advances. There is a rapid decrease from 5 days to 60 days of age and then a slow diminution throughout adult life.
