Researches about the Activity of some Dehydrogenases in the Nephrons of Desert Rats (Meriones unguiculati).--Our desert rats Meriones unguiculati (Mongolian Gerbils) show--also when held under the same experimental conditions as our other laboratory rodents (Wistar rats and white mice)--a somewhat different enzyme histchemical behaviour of these nephrons. The essential difference in the Meriones is that their distal convolutions display on the whole stronger enzyme activities compared as well with the proximal convolutions of the same kidneys, as with the distal convolutions of Wistar rats.
