Effects of hyperinsulinism and of diabetes on proteoglycans of the intervertebral disc in weanling sand rats.
Weanling sand rats (Psammomys obesus) develop hyperinsulinemia or diabetes or both, if fed a standard laboratory diet without a supplement of fiber rich salt bush. The annuli fibrosi of hyperinsulinemic or diabetic animals, which are still hyperinsulinemic, show a slight but statistically significant increase in chondroitin sulfate and a lesser, statistically nonsignificant increase in keratan sulfate. Possible causes of these changes are discussed and the likelihood of a role of hyperinsulinism in their production is pointed out.
