Abstract
We examined the effects of aminoguanidine and methylguanidine on vascular dysfunction, glomerular structural changes, and indexes of early and late nonenzymatic glycation in 7-month streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Kidney weight, glomerular volume, fractional mesangial volume, glomerular capillary basement membrane width, and urinary albumin excretion were increased in diabetic rats. Diabetes also 1) increased vascular albumin permeation twofold in retina, sciatic nerve, aorta, skin, and kidney; 2) decreased renal collagenase-soluble collagen; 3) increased collagen-associated fluorescence in kidney and skin but not in aorta; and 4) increased glycated hemoglobin levels and aortic pentosidine levels. Aminoguanidine reduced albuminuria by 70% after 4 months, and both guanidines 1) normalized aortic pentosidine levels and renal collagenase-soluble collagen, 2) had no effect on glycated hemoglobin levels or collagen-associated fluorescence (in aorta, kidney, or skin), and 3) had little or no effect on regional albumin permeation. These discordant effects of aminoguanidine on diabetes-induced vascular changes versus parameters of nonenzymatic glycation are consistent with a multifactorial pathogenesis of diabetic complications, ...Continue Reading
