Abstract
Summary
Histochemical studies of the low succinate-tetrazolium reductase activity found in tubular elements of the neonatal rat kidney cortex have shown that the low reductase activity is due to a low activity of the primary dehydrogenase and a lack of availability of optimum amounts of coenzyme Q. In addition, a correlation has been found between the low reductase activity, morphologic immaturity of renal tubular elements, and a lack of mitochondrial staining of these elements.
