Summary
Rats and mice were experimented upon to inquire into changes occurring in the mitotic activity of the kidney in various functional conditions of the organ. An inverse relationship was found to exist between the functional activity of the organ and mitosis. High level of mitotic activity was noted during hours of minimal diuresis, and a low one at the time of maximal diuresis. A brief increase of the renal function achieved by way of water loading resulted in a reduction of mitotic activity in this organ.
