Abstract

The transport of injected thorotrast across the glomerulus of the frog kidney was studied following destruction of its mesangium. The results suggest that the mesangium contributes to the physiological integrity of the glomerular basement membrane and may therefore be a factor in the aetiology of glomerulonephritis.
