Quantitative histochemical measurements of two enzymes of uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG) metabolism have been made in the developing rat kidney nephron. Kidneys were examined from -4 days to 44 days of age. In the adult kidney, UDPG-pyrophosphatase was concentrated in proximal convoluted and straight tubules. During maturation, activity decreased in glomeruli, increased in the proximal tubule and changed little elsewhere in the nephron. UDPG-pyrophosphorylase revealed a different pattern. Activity was more nearly uniformly distributed throughout the nephron but was highest in the proximal straight tubule and ascending limb of Henle. During development, activity was unchanged or increased in glomeruli and small arteries and increased elsewhere, particularly in the proximal straight tubule and ascending limb of Henle.

The sorbitol pathway catalyzes the conversion of glucose to fructose via the intermediate sorbitol. It consists of aldose reductase (AR) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH). In adult (44 day) kidney zones, AR was highest in the outer medulla. In substructures AR was highest in distal convoluted tubule. The AR was greatest in newborn and 8-day zones of developing rat kidney. Acute alloxan diabetes was associated with decreased AR in small arteries, but not glomeruli. The SDH was lowest in outer medulla. It was most active in glomeruli and distal convoluted tubules. The diabetic state leads to no change of SDH in arteries but an increase in glomeruli. SDH increased with development. This study demonstrates AR and SDH in substructures of the kidney. The pathway is present in developing kidney. In diabetes the enzymatic changes would tend to decrease accumulation of sorbitol.
