Abstract
The index of juxtaglomerular cell granularity, content of neurosecretory material in the posterior lobe of the pituritary gland, and width of the adrenal zona glomerulosa were compared in rats aged 10 to 30 months. A sharp reduction in all 3 of these variables was found in old rats.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
