Zusammenfassung

Ratten, denen eine Diät mit niedrigem Gehalt von Morfamquat gefüttert wurde, zeigten nach 6–24 Wochen eine erhöhte Anzahl von Lysosomen in den Epithelzellen der Nierensammelröhren. Im Lumen waren Zelltrümmer zu sehen, die auf eine Zellnekrose im proximalen Nephron schliessen liessen. Die Mitochondrien wiesen weder quantitative noch qualitative Veränderungen auf.
