Glycosylated hemoglobin in Mystromys albicaudatus: a diabetic animal model. 1982

R R Little, and K M Parker, and J D England, and D E Goldstein

Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured in Mystromys albicaudatus, a rodent model of diabetes mellitus, using a newly developed colorimetric assay. The mean glycosylated hemoglobin for non-diabetic Mystromys (n = 321) was 14.8 nmol hydroxymethylfurfural / 10 mg hemoglobin which is similar to that obtained in non-diabetic humans. Animals with a glycosylated hemoglobin value greater than 19 nmol hydroxymethylfurfural / 10 mg hemoglobin were characterized as diabetics. Significant correlations were found between glycosylated hemoglobin and both plasma glucose and urine glucose levels.

D006029 Glycosuria The appearance of an abnormally large amount of GLUCOSE in the urine, such as more than 500 mg/day in adults. It can be due to HYPERGLYCEMIA or genetic defects in renal reabsorption (RENAL GLYCOSURIA).
D006442 Glycated Hemoglobin Products of non-enzymatic reactions between GLUCOSE and HEMOGLOBIN (occurring as a minor fraction of the hemoglobin of ERYTHROCYTES.) It generally refers to glycated HEMOGLOBIN A. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) is hemoglobin A with GLYCATION on a terminal VALINE of the beta chain. Glycated hemoglobin A is used as an index of the average blood sugar level over a lifetime of erythrocytes.
