Abstract
IN potassium-deficient rats characteristic granules appear within the cytoplasm of the collecting tubule cells; the origin and nature of the granules have not been established. By labelling the serum proteins with the dye T-1824 it has been examined whether or not they might be made up, at least in part, of serum protein entering from the tubular lumen.
