Production of hyaluronan by glomerular mesangial cells in response to fibronectin and platelet-derived growth factor.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein (THP) is a unique protein that is produced exclusively by cells of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TALH). This study examined whether dietary salt altered renal THP production. METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were examined on days 1, 4, and 15 following placement in met...
