Factors affecting nerve regeneration and function in experimental diabetes

Rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes exhibit both a reduction in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and an impaired regenerative response after nerve injury. Nerve blood flow is also reduced in diabetic rats. Vasodilator treatment normalized the deficit in maximum regeneration distance after nerve...
