Reduced number of anionic sites is associated with glomerular basement membrane thickening in the diabetic BB-rat. 1989

Glomerular basement membranes of diabetic and age- and sex-matched non-diabetic BB rats were studied morphometrically and ultrastructurally using a quantitative histochemical technique employing the cationic dye cuprolinic blue. Six months of diabetes resulted in a significant reduction in the density of anionic sites associated with increased thickness of the glomerular basement membrane. These findings suggest that the loss of anionic sites may be an important mechanism in the genesis of glomerular basement membrane dysfunction in diabetes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007211 Indoles Benzopyrroles with the nitrogen at the number one carbon adjacent to the benzyl portion, in contrast to ISOINDOLES which have the nitrogen away from the six-membered ring.
D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
