An attempt was made to demonstrate a humoral factor controlling renal hyperplasia following unilateral nephrectomy. Rapid mixing of blood between parabiotic rats was obtained through carotid artery‐jugular vein cross cannulation. These experiments showed no evidence for the passage from a nephrectomized rat to an intact rat of a humoral agent controlling compensatory growth of the kidney.
