Popis: Wet and dry weight, concentration and total amount of nucleic acids and proteins, and incorporation of tritiated thymidine were measured in the arteries of rats after 7 and 15 days of unilateral nephrectomy, sham operation and in control animals. Arteries of uninephrectomized rats showed increased wet and dry weight, increased DNA and protein content after 7 and 15 days and a higher rate of tritiated thymidine uptake after the first week. These results suggest an early proliferative process in the arteries of unilateral nephrectomized rats.
