  • Title: Thickness of renal glomerular capillary basement membrane in the offspring of diabetic rats fed a regular or high-sucrose diet.
    Author: Altshuler G, Ornoy A.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1986; 126(4):237-9. PubMed ID: 3766106.
    Abstract:
    Numerous animal model studies of diabetes mellitus have been reported. Diabetes-induced vascular damage is a common cause of systemic organ damage in humans and animals. Many investigations have been made of human and animal offspring of diabetic mothers. The present report documents the sequential glomerular basement membrane (GBM) thickness in fetuses and infants of diabetic rats. The postnatal increase in GBM thickness was similar in the offspring of control and diabetic rats, and was not related to the sucrose concentration in the diet.
