This suggests that the compaction changes observed in this study are not necessarily a direct effect of diabetes itself, but are perhaps due to morphological changes in the nuclei undergoing cataractogenesis.
Although all domains in midasin have yielded something to the pressure for gene compaction during evolution of Encephalitozoon, it is the N-terminal, linker and D/E-rich domains, in which the sequence is relatively less conserved among organisms, that have yielded the most.
Computer-assisted measurements (using Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA; NIH Image 1.62, US National Institutes of Health, http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/) were made from scanned SEM micrograph negatives investigating four parameters (magnifications are in parentheses): 1. anterior ellipsoid angle of fetal nuclear fibers (40-60 X), 2. posterior ellipsoid angle of fetal nuclear fibers (40-60 X), 3. embryonic nuclear polar axis length (200-400 X), and 4. average number of embryonic nuclear fiber compaction folds over a 20 μm distance (2000 X).
In this study, SEM was used to search for evidence of osmotic swelling and/or fiber cell compaction in the nucleus of non-cataractous and clinically diagnosed nuclear cataractous human lenses from persons with diabetes.
In Brown and Hungerford's review of the size of the lens in ocular disease he comments that the rise in overall lens growth rate observed in the diabetic lens can be almost entirely attributed to increased cortical thickness, with relatively insignificant width changes in the nucleus [ 19 ] . Later postulations concerning the mechanism of this growth included increased fiber formation, enlarged fiber cell volume, and decreased nuclear compaction [ 8 20 ] . Parameter comparisons of transparent aged human lenses to those of diabetics did not yield statistically significant results, indicating little difference in average nuclear compaction between the tissues.
