J. Kocisova, EFFECT OF HIGH-NITROGEN AND LOW-NITROGEN DIETS ON CELL ULTRASTRUCTUREIN THE CORTICAL PART OF THE OVINE KIDNEY, Acta veterinaria Hungarica, 42(1), 1994, pp. 121-129
The ultrastructure of cells of the renal cortex was studied in two gro
ups of sheep fed a low- and a high-nitrogen diet, respectively. In the
low-nitrogen group alterations were detected on the mitochondriae. In
the cells of the proximal and distal tubules, dilatation of the endop
lasmic reticulum as well as vacuolation of the cytoplasm could be obse
rved.
