Abstract

Streptozotocin diabetes in rats is considered a good model for studies that cannot be conducted in humans. Diabetic glomerulopathy has been studied extensively in experimental diabetes [1–3]. The following chapter, however, is devoted to different segments of the nephron, i.e., the distal tubule and the juxtaglomerular apparatus. In an attempt to contribute to the elucidation of functional changes in the diabetic kidney, the focus here is on structural abnormalities, which, consequent to their location, could reflect the increase in glomerular filtration rate and the changes in the handling of NaCl.
