Abstract
We investigated the mechanism by which diabetes renders the capillary endothelium more permeable to macromolecules in the lungs of short-term diabetic rats. We used quantitative immunocytochemistry (ICC) to comparatively assess the permeability of alveolar capillaries to serum albumin in diabetic and normoglycemic animals. The effect of diabetes on the population of endothelial caveolae was evaluated by morphometry and by ICC and immunochemical quantification of the amount of caveolin in the whole cell or associated with the purified endothelial plasma membrane. A net increase in the amount of serum albumin taken up by the plasmalemmal vesicles of alveolar endothelial cells and transported to the interstitium was documented in diabetic animals. Interendothelial junctions were not permeated by albumin molecules. The alveolar endothelial cells of hyperglycemic rats contain more caveolae (1.3-fold), accounting for a larger (1.5-fold) fraction of the endothelial volume than those of normal animals. The hypertrophy of the caveolar compartment is accompanied by overexpression of endothelial caveolin 1. Although the aggregated thickness of the endothelial and alveolar epithelium basement membranes increases in diabetes (1.3-fold), the porosity of this structure appears to be unchanged. Capillary hyperpermeability to plasma macromolecules recorded in the early phase of diabetes is explained by an intensification of transendothelial vesicular transport and not by the destabilization of the interendothelial junctions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
