Frequency of juxtaglomerular granulated cells in the mouse kidney
Abstract:
Studies of 23 untreated adult mouse kidneys revealed that in mouse kidney sections the frequency of juxtaglomerular granulated cells as compared to the glomeruli is 38.5 +/- 1.79%, the value for the JGI, 71.8 +/- 3.93. Following 100 glomeruli through complete serial sections prepared from a single mouse kidney, it was shown that in the cortex of the mouse kidney all juxtaglomerular apparatus related to the glomeruli contain renin-producing modified smooth muscle cells with granulated cytoplasm.
