The relationship between nephron number, kidney size and body weight in two inbred mouse strains.

Organogenesis - 1 Jan 2000

Murawski Inga J, Maina Rita W, Gupta Indra R

Abstract excerpt

While some reports in humans have shown that nephron number is positively correlated with height, body weight or kidney weight, other studies have not reproduced these findings. To understand the impact of genetic and environmental variation on these relationships, we examined whether nephron number correlates with body weight, kidney planar surface area, or kidney weight in two inbred mouse strains with...
