Abstract
In view of the possibility that mucopolysaccharides of epithelium may participate in stone formation, the effect of parathyroid extract and vitamin D like drugs on the transitional epithelium of the dog were determined. Biopsies of bladder were taken and bladder pouch preparations were constructed in female mongrel dogs. Histologic examination failed to reveal changes indicative of alteration of mucopolysaccharides of transitional epithelium.
