Muscle capillary basement membrane thickness in lipoatrophic diabetes. 1977

F D Goebel, and H Dörfler, and H H Goebel, and N Zöllner

A 21 years old female patient with lipoatrophic diabetes, a distinct syndrome of insulin resistant diabetes mellitus, loss of subcutaneous fat, hepatosplenomegaly, hyperlipidemia, increased basal metabolic rate, subvalvular aortic stenosis and cystic bone lesions is described. She exhibited all clinical signs of diabetic microangiopathy. Quantitative estimation revealed severely thickened basement membranes of muscle capillaries. It is concluded that the extent of her microangiopathy is a consequence of her excessive metabolic abnormalities.

D008060 Lipodystrophy A collection of heterogenous conditions resulting from defective LIPID METABOLISM and characterized by ADIPOSE TISSUE atrophy. Often there is redistribution of body fat resulting in peripheral fat wasting and central adiposity. They include generalized, localized, congenital, and acquired lipodystrophy. Lipodystrophies

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.

D048909 Diabetes Complications Conditions or pathological processes associated with the disease of diabetes mellitus. Due to the impaired control of BLOOD GLUCOSE level in diabetic patients, pathological processes develop in numerous tissues and organs including the EYE, the KIDNEY, the BLOOD VESSELS, and the NERVE TISSUE.
