Effects of glucose on matrix metalloproteinase and plasmin activities in mesangial cells: Possible role in diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by an accumulation of mesangium matrix that correlates well with the loss of kidney

The important role of ascorbic acid (AA) as an anti-oxidant is particularly relevant in diabetes mellitus where plasma concentrations of AA are reduced. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of treatment with AA or an aldose reductase inhi

Expansion of the glomerular mesangium is a consistent finding of diabetic nephropathy. Negatively charged proteoglycans are an integral part of the mesangium and their synthesis and degradation is disturbed in many forms of glomerulosclerosis. The me

Mesangium enlargement is a central feature of diabetic nephropathy and almost certainly plays a pathogenic role in this condition. Previous studies have shown that mesangium degradation is reduced in a high glucose mileau. Plasmin has been shown to p

Nephropathy is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus which is preceded by a period of microalbuminura. Increased loss of proteoglycan (PG) from glomerular basement (GBM) has been postulated to alter glomerular charge selectivity w

Abnormalities of retinal pericytes and endothelial cells are prominent features of diabetic retinopathy. In this study, we used cultures of bovine retinal cells to examine the regulation of cell-associated proteoglycans, a class of highly sulfated ma

Collagen and proteoglycans are two major constituents of the extracellular matrix, and their abnormalities have been incriminated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. A decrease of plasma ascorbic acid has been reported in diabetes and thus

Ascorbic acid is required in the synthesis of collagen and is also an important anti-oxidant. In a previous study, plasma ascorbic acid concentration was found to be decreased in diabetic patients but there was no relationship with blood glucose leve

Diabetes is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Hyperglycemia is an underlying contributing factor; however, the mechanisms that mediate the vascular complications are not yet fully understood. In the present study, we provide evidence that elev

It has been reported previously that the plasma concentration of ascorbic acid (AA) is reducedin streptozocin-induced diabetic rats and can be normalized by treatment with the aldose reductase inhibitor tolrestat. This study was designed to investiga
