Abstract
Monoaminoguanidine administration (25 mg/kg b.wt, i.p. for 14 weeks) to alloxan diabetic rats (blood glucose ≥250 mg/dl) decreased the nonenzymatic protein glycosylation and sorbitol levels. It prevented development of Armanni-Ebstein tubular lesions, pathological changes in the glomerular capillary tufts and glomerular basement membrane thickening in the kidney.
