Abstract:Morphological effects caused by two different diets (low protein-high water intake, and high protein-restricted water) on the vascular bundles in the outer medullary zone of the kidney were studied in the laboratory white mouse and in the golden spiny mouse (Acomys russatus, Muridae).

No interstitial substance was found in animals on high protein-low water intake d… Show more
