Biochemical differences in human glomerular basement membrane related to diabetes and age. 1982

A De Bats, and E L Rhodes, and A H Gordon, and D V Parke

Preparations of glomerular basement membrane from diabetic and young and aged normal subjects have been isolated and purified and the component carbohydrates and amino acids quantitatively determined. Diabetic membrane preparations, compared with membranes from young normal subjects, show significant increases in total hexoses, mannose, and galactose and decreases in sialic acid and glucose; the component amino acids show increases in hydroxylysine, proline, and glycine and decreases in lysine, histidine, and leucine. Basement membrane preparations from aged normals show changes in component carbohydrates and amino acids similar to, but not as great as, those seen in the diabetics.

D003920 Diabetes Mellitus A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
