Thermal pain sensation was evaluated with a hotplate. Diabetic animals showed sensory nerve impairment manifested by an increased latency to withdraw. Diabetic mice inoculated with T0VEGF showed near-normal thermal pain sensation. Mean±s.e.m.; * P<0.005 compared to diabetic or diabetic inoculated with Q0ZHG; n = 8 animals per group.
