Nephrotic syndrome and collagenizing glomerulopathy in PVG/c rats treated with the alpha-mannosidase inhibitor "swainsonine". 1983

C R Huxtable, and P R Dorling

Weanling PVG/c rats treated with the alpha-mannosidase inhibitor swainsonine developed increasing proteinuria which terminated as a severe nephrotic syndrome after 35 to 45 days. This was associated with a glomerulopathy characterized by the production of collagen fibrils adjacent to endothelial and mesangial cells, foot process expansion, subepithelial projections of the basement membrane, and splitting of the lamina densa. The swainsonine-induced glomerulopathy appeared to be an exacerbation of a spontaneous abnormality in this strain of rat.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D008297 Male Males
D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
