Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has been as an animal model for studing the neurological diseases such as stroke and epilepsy because of the congenital incompleteries in Willis circle, as well as the investigation of water metabolism because of the long time-survival in the condition of water-deprived desert condition, compared with other species animals. In order to accomplish the this research, first of all another divided the laboratory animals 5 groups of which each group include the 5 animals. In this study were investigated the histological structure in the kidney, measured the plasma osmolalities at the time of sacrifice of indivisual animals, and the body weights every day during water-deprived. The results obtained in this study were summarized as followings: 1. The body weights and decreasing rates of the body weight in water-deprived mongolian gerbil groups were continuosly decreased. 2. The plasma osmolalities were increased from the 5th water-deprived day, after then the gradually increasing reached nearly its equilibrium state at the 10th water-deprived day. 3. The urine volumes were abruptly decreased from the 2th water-deprived day, after then the gradually decreasing patterns were reached nearly its equilibrium state at the 10th day, and stopped the 11th day. 4. In the light microscopical observation of the kidney, glomerular capillary loop thickening, mesangial matrix increasing, sclerosis, glomerular cystic atrophy, interstitial fibrosis, tubular dilatation, mononuclear interstitial inflammation, interstitial mineralization, and hyperplasia of the collecting duct epithelium in the cortex area, were observed from the 10th water deprived day, and the lesions were gradually severe changed as the time lapse. 5. In the electron microscopical findings of the kidney, the degenerative changes of endothelial cell, podocyte and mesangial cell in glomeruli were initially observed on the 10th water-deprived day as well as the degeneration of microvilli and intracellular organelle in the renal tubules.

무당개구리 피부과립선의 조직화학적 성질과 그 미세구조를 광학, 주사 및 투과형 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 무당개구리의 과립선은 진피에 위치한 단포상선으로서 선강재에 함유된 분비과립의 형태와 그 조직화학적 특성에 따라서 분비과립의 크기가 작은 I형과립선과, 분비과립이 큰 II형 과립선의 두 종류로 구분되었다. 이들은 공통적으로 점액선에 비해 선분비부가 잘 발달되어 있었으며, 내강이 없고 인접세포간의 세포경계가 관찰되지 않는 다핵체의 형태를 하고 있었다. 조직화학반응의 결과, 두 종류의 과립선은 Alcian blue에 전혀 반응하지 않았고, PAS반응에는 I형 과립선만이 약한 양성반응을 나타내었다. 또한 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 과립선 개구부의 표면구조는 공통적으로 피부에 돌출된 기공과 흡사한 형태를 하고 있었는데, I형 과립선의 개구부는 미세한 망상구조를 가진 세포로 이루어져 있었고, II형 과립선은 비교적 큰 과립상의 표면구조를 가진 세포로 이루어져 있었다. 한편 과립선의 선분비부는 공통적으로 외부의 근상피세포층과 내부의 선상피세포층으로 되어 있었고, 선상피세포층내에 함유돈 각각의 분비과립들은 모두 조면소포체로부터 기원하였으며, 과립의 성숙정도에 따라서 다양한 형태적 변이가 관찰되었다.
