[Correlation between renal compensatory hypertrophy and urinary sodium excretion in the ACTH treated rat].
In the rat, renal compensatory hypertrophy (RCH) is enhanced by the administration of ACTH (beta 1-24 corticotrophin) given at a dose of 18 micrograms/100 g. body weight/d. after uninephrectomy. In the rats drinking tap water, the enhancement of RCH by ACTH occurs without any significant change in urinary Na+ excretion. But, in the animals drinking a NaCl solution (9 g/l), ACTH determines a polyuria with hypernatriuria and a more striking increase of RCH positively correlated with the urinary Na+ excretion.

[Enhancement of compensatory renal hypertrophy by beta-1-24 corticotropin in the rat].
In the rat, the administration of beta1-24-corticotrophin during 7 days following an uninephrectomy enhances significantly the compensatory hypertrophy of the remaining kidney. There is no increase in renal compensatory hypertrophy when ACTH is injected to previously adrenalectomized rats. This action of ACTH could be related to the diabetes mellitus induced by this hormone or to an increase in sodium reabsorption by the tubular epithelial cells.
