This study describes reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and increased resistance to hypoxia-induced conduction failure in sciatic nerves of rats after four weeks of streptozotocin-induced diabetes (both effects were significant at p < 0.05). These changes occurred in the absence of any deficit

A possible relationship between increased sorbitol concentration and decreased myo-inositol concentration in peripheral nerves of diabetic rats has been examined. To this end, sorbinil, an aldose reductase inhibitor, was used either to prevent or reverse elevation of nerve sorbitol concentration in
Advanced glycation is an important pathogenic mechanism in the development of diabetic complications. However, other biochemical processes, such as the polyol pathway or lipid and protein oxidation which can interact with advanced glycation can also yield tissue fluorescence and may also be implicat
