Evolution of the granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus during postnatal development in the albino rat. Effect of age, body weight, renal weight and sex.
The postnatal development of the juxtaglomerular apparatus was studied by fluorescent microscopy in a series of 275 albino Wistar rats aged from 2 to 90 days. After treatment of kidney sections with thioflavine T, the appearance and evolution of secretory function in the terminal segment of the afferent glomerular arteriole were assessed in terms of the granular cell index (GCI) and the juxtaglomerular cell granulation index (JGI). Variations in these indices were analyzed in function of age, body weight, renal weight and sex of the animals. It emerges quite clearly from these studies that granular cell differentiation and maturation takes place in four successiveEster Dean
