Popis: Albumin glycation was investigated in old rats to elucidate the link between the preferential excretion of glycated albumin and age-related microalbuminuria. Postprandial blood glucose and the glycated albumin in the serum and urine of 3-, 10- and 30-month-old Wistar rats and in streptozotocin diabetic rats were determined. Blood glucose increased from 1.46 +/- 0.046 g l-1 in 3-month-old rats to 2.08 +/- 0.06 (10 months) and 1.75 +/- 0.23 (30 months) (P0.05). Albumin glycation level in the serum increased from 0.79 +/- 0.07 nmol HCHO/nmol albumin (3 months) to 1.41 +/- 0.14 (10 months) and 1.73 +/- 0.21 (30 months) (P0.05); urinary level increased from 1.63 +/- 0.39 nmol HCHO/nmol albumin (3 months) to 2.92 +/- 0.57 (10 months) and 2.39 +/- 0.36 (30 months) (P0.01). The percent glycated albumin in serum rose from 3.33 +/- 0.64 to 6.81 +/- 0.63 and 6.99 +/- 1.79% of total albumin (P0.05), whereas the urine percentage decreased from 12.81 +/- 3.97 to 12.64 +/- 2.87 and 2.63 +/- 0.97% (P0.05) in 3-, 10- and 30-month-old rats, respectively. Editing decreased with aging from 4.28 +/- 0.83 (3 months) to 1.84 +/- 0.32 (10 months) and 0.52 +/- 0.14 (30 months) (P0.01). Editing in microproteinuric diabetic rats was lower (0.95 +/- 0.08) than in 3-month-old control rats (P0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
