Abstract

In five species (mouse, rat, rabbit, rhesus monkey and man) the renin status of the preglomerular arterioles was examined using two immunohistochemical methods: the measurement of the renin-positive portion of the vessels, reflecting the respective number of granulated cells, and the semiquantitative assessment of the renin concentration in the juxtaglomerular epithelioid cells with antibody dilution series. The main objective of the study was to compare the interzonal with the intrazonal internephron heterogeneities, i.e. the differences between the average renin status of the preglomerular arterioles in the superficial, intermediate and juxtamedullar cortex with the differences between the renin status of the individual afferent arterioles in one and the same cortex region. In contrast to small interzonal heterogeneities, substantial intrazonal differences in the renin status of the corresponding nephrons were found.
