Abstract

The function and histochemistry of the kidney were studied in homozygous Brattleboro rats after 28-day treatment with exogenous arginine-vasopressin. The long-lasting effect of the hormone includes normalization of osmotic concentration, decrease in the number of b-glucuronidase granules in the medulla, and increasing content of hyaluronan in the interstitium. These changes promote physiological optimization of the antidiuretic reaction to vasopressin.
