Neuritic Sympathetic Dystrophy in the SMG-CG of db/db Type 2 Diabetic Mice
| Mouse | n | Weight (gm) | Blood glucose (mg%) | SMG-CG dystrophy (no. dystrophic neurites/ no. neuron) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 3 | 30.5 ± 1.0 | 100 ± 10 | 0.11 ± 0.1 |
| Diabetic | 4 | 42.5 ± 1.6 | 453 ± 44 | 0.14 ± 0.03 |
The frequency of neuritic dystrophy is shown in male db/db mice diabetic for 5 months before sacrifice and age-matched littermate controls (db/m). Values represent means ± SEM for “n” mice.
