Abstract
The freezing point depression of slices of rat kidney removed during water diuresis or antidiuresis has been investigated with a microcryoscopic method. The osmotic pressure gradient in the inner medulla first demonstrated by Wirz has been confirmed. The inner medulla was found to be hypertonic to plasma during water diuresis. Hypotonic tubules were present throughout the cortex and outer stripe of the outer medulla.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
