Abstract
A study of the influence of different diets (rich and deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids) and of indomethacin on the mean count of renomedullary interstitial cell (RIC) lipid granules was undertaken. A correlation between dietary linoleic acid (LA) content (the main precursor of endogenous prostaglandin biosynthesis) and the number of granules in RIC was demonstrated: in comparison to the salt-loaded rats fed standard pellet diet, the number of RIC lipid granules in salt-loaded rats fed LA in excess increased, while in salt-loaded rats on LA-deficient diet the RIC granularity tended to decrease. Indomethacin treatment caused an increase in RIC granularity in salt-loaded rats fed a standard pellet diet and in those fed LA in excess, but had no effect in salt-loaded rats fed LA-deficient diet.
