During the last decade, the process of non-enzymatic glycosylation of body proteins associated with the hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus has grown very much in importance. It is now believed that the structural and functional protein alterations induced by the formation of reactive glycosylation end products are partly implicated in the development of diabetic cataracts, neuropathy, and collagen alterations.’ In the kidney, one of the organs most affected by diabetic vascular complications, nonenzymatic glycosylation could also play an important pathogenetic role. For example, the well known deposition of albumin, IgG, fibrin, and other plasma proteins along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) of diabetic kidneys’ could be mediated via an altered chemistry of GBM collagen induced by excessive glycosylation. Indirect support for this hypothesis is given by the reports of increased GBM glycosylation found in animals3 and humans4 with diabetes. In this study we have investigated whether the reactivity of normal human GBM is altered after its enhanced in vitro non-enzymatic glycosylation.
