| Research Abstract |
We were able to visualize glomerular filtration in a rat. There was leakage of larger particles with the molecular weight of 70k Dal, which was found progressive even at the early stage of diabetes. The reason of this leakage was attributed to the structural changes of the slit membrane where filtration takes place. It is because alignment of podocin and CD2AP, component proteins of the slit membrane was heterogeneously damaged due to diabetes.
