Identification of a renal-specific oxido-reductase in newborn diabetic mice.
Aldose reductase (ALR2), a NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase (AKR), is widely distributed in mammalian tissues and has been implicated in complications of diabetes, including diabetic nephropathy. To identify a renal-specific reductase belonging to the AKR family, representational difference analyses of cDNA from diabetic mouse kidney were performed. A full-length cDNA with an ORF of 855 nt a...
متن کاملHuman aldose reductase expression accelerates diabetic atherosclerosis in transgenic mice.
Direct evidence that hyperglycemia, rather than concomitant increases in known risk factors, induces atherosclerosis is lacking. Most diabetic mice do not exhibit a higher degree of atherosclerosis unless the development of diabetes is associated with more severe hyperlipidemia. We hypothesized that normal mice were deficient in a gene that accelerated atherosclerosis with diabetes. The gene en...
متن کاملA diabetic newborn?
CASE DESCRIPTION A sample submitted for hemoglobin (Hb) evaluation on a 5-day-old premature male infant with intestinal perforation, intraventricular hemorrhage, anemia, and sepsis contained 61.1% Hb A, 23.7% Hb F, 2.1% Hb A2, and peaks of 8.2% and 5.2% in the P2 and P3 regions of the Bio-Rad Variant II HPLC thalassemia assay (Fig. 1). Isoelectric focusing showed Hb A, Hb F, Hb A2, and a band c...
متن کاملXanthine oxido-reductase activity in ischemic human and rat intestine.
We measured time course and extent of xanthine dehydrogenase (XD) to xanthine oxidase (XO) conversion in ischemic human and rat intestine. To model normothermic no-flow ischemia, we incubated fresh biopsies for 0, 2, 4, 8 and 16h. At t = 0h, XO was less in humans than in rats (P < 0.0004), while XD was essentially the same (P = NS). After 16h incubation at 37 degrees C, there was no appreciable...
متن کاملExacerbation of Diabetic Renal Alterations in Mice Lacking Vasohibin-1
Vasohibin-1 (VASH1) is a unique endogenous inhibitor of angiogenesis that is induced in endothelial cells by pro-angiogenic factors. We previously reported renoprotective effect of adenoviral delivery of VASH1 in diabetic nephropathy model, and herein investigated the potential protective role of endogenous VASH1 by using VASH1-deficient mice. Streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic VASH1 hetero...
