Abstract

Administration of aminonu-cleoside of puromycin to PRO/Re strain mice resulted in biochemical and renal glomerular alterations. The biochemical changes included hypoalbuminemia, hyper-alphaglobulinemia, hypercholesterolemia, and azotemia. Morphologically, there was approximation of visceral epithelial foot processes, intracytoplasmic vacuolization or percellular channel formation, and immense deposition of moderately electron-dense material in the subendothelial regions and lumens of glomerular capillaries. Attempts to induce similar changes in either of the parental and in other nonparental strains of mice of diverse genetic origins were unsuccessful.
