  • Title: Increased glycation of plasma lipoproteins in diabetic cynomolgus monkeys.
    Author: Wagner JD, Bagdade JD, Litwak KN, Zhang L, Bell-Farrow AD, Wang ZQ, Cefalu WT.
    Journal: Lab Anim Sci; 1996 Feb; 46(1):31-5. PubMed ID: 8699816.
    Abstract:
    Hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus increases glycation of hemoglobin and serum proteins in human and nonhuman primates. It also has been documented that numerous other circulating proteins may be glycated. In this study we found that most of the major subclasses of lipoproteins (low-density, very low-density, and high-density) from diabetic cynomolgus monkeys were significantly more glycated than were lipoproteins from age- and sex-matched controls. Correlations between levels of glycemic control and glycation of lipoproteins also were significant. Because glycation of lipoproteins has been shown to affect their normal metabolism, this animal model may be useful in determining the interaction between lipoproteins, diabetes mellitus, and the increased risk of atherosclerosis.
