[Morphometric analysis of the glomeruli and juxtaglomerular apparatus of rat kidneys during the course of experimental hypokinesia].

In the hypokinetic study a certain correlation between variations in the means of the volume of cortical and juxtamedullary glomerules and the function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus has been established. It is hypothesized that at early hypokinesia renal vascular changes are nonspecific. The phenomenon of renal excretion of fluids and electrolytes is explained in terms of a simultaneous increase in the reninangiotensin activity and 11-hydroxycorticosteroid content in plasma.
