Morphological aspects of the rat kidney preserved by cold storage. I. Glomerular morphometric changes.

The absolute density of glomeruli in the microscopic field was determined in the rat kidney preserved by cold storage for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hrs in two different media: Sacks (hyperosmolar electrolytic solution of intracellular type) and Plasmagel (gelatin solution 4%). Progressive, statistically significant (p less than 0.01) decrease of glomerular density at 24 and 48 hrs was followed by return to initial values at 96 hrs. Decrease of the glomerular density was greater with Plasmagel.

The nutritive value of biscuits protein-enriched with soy-bean meal.

The researches were carried out on 4 groups of 15 weanling rats and 2 groups of 8 adult rats "pair fed" in individual cages, with a complete isocaloric and isoproteic (10%) diet, the nitrogenous material being supplied for one group from casein, for another from gluten and for the two others this was supplemented with soy-bean meal (5 or 10%). The results obtained in the growth test and in adult rats (nitrogen balance) show that the incorporation of soy-bean into the gluten biscuits increased the gain in weight and the PER lowering the consumption index (p less than 0.001), and doubled the nitrogen retention.
