ABSTRACT
Objective:
The capillary changes at the initial stage of diabetes may show an angioarchitecture clearly different from those of later stages and;/or very severe glomerular change. However; the onset of alterations in the early phases is unclear. This study attempts to determine the functional and structural alterations of the glomerular wall and vesicles in the early stage of diabetes. Material andMethods:
Twenty-five adult rats were used in this study. They were divided into two groups the first group of five was used as a control .The second group of 20 (the experimental group) was injected intraperitoneally by a single dose of streptozotocin to induce hyperglycemia. Rats were sacrificed after ten days; two months; and four months.Five rats at two months of age with hyperglycemia were treated with insulin for eight weeks. Renal tissues were prepared by routine technique for light and transmission electron microscopic evaluation
