Popis: KK mice with spontaneous hereditary diabetes and human diabetic-like glomerulosclerosis were treated with either 0.5 or 2.5 mg/kg of glyburide, a sulfonylurea compound, from 2 months of age. Both, saline and glyburide-treated mice were sacrificed at 4, 6, 9, and 12 months of age, and their kidneys were examined by light microscopy. The data indicate that early glyburide treatment is effective in ameliorating or delaying the progression of diabetic glomerulosclerosis. This effect seems to be related to the early control of hyperglycemia in KK mice.
