Extracellular matrix plays an important role in many physiological functions and its abnormalities are thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. In this paper we used the techniques of electron microscopy, immunostaining and X-ray diffraction to document some of the early events in the changes of extracellular matrix in a model of insulin dependent diabetes in baboons. Our results show that thickening of basement membrane and enlargement of mesangium are demonstrable in the glomeruli of prepubertal diabetic baboons within 2 years from the onset of diabetes. Concomitant with this was the accumulation of type IV collagen and laminin in the mesangium. By contrast, even the very sensitive technique of X-ray diffraction failed to demonstrate changes in the equatorial direction of collagen molecules of the skin and tendon. We conclude that changes of glomerular extracellular matrix are demonstrable early in insulin dependent diabetes even in prepubertal baboons. These can be used as endpoints in evaluating the efficacy of pharmacological agents such as aminoguanidine in preventing diabetic complications.

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
D010215 Papio A genus of the subfamily CERCOPITHECINAE, family CERCOPITHECIDAE, consisting of five named species: PAPIO URSINUS (chacma baboon), PAPIO CYNOCEPHALUS (yellow baboon), PAPIO PAPIO (western baboon), PAPIO ANUBIS (or olive baboon), and PAPIO HAMADRYAS (hamadryas baboon). Members of the Papio genus inhabit open woodland, savannahs, grassland, and rocky hill country. Some authors consider MANDRILLUS a subgenus of Papio.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
