title: Conduction velocity of motor nerve and cervical sympathetic and vagus nerve in streptozotocin diabetic rats.
abstract: We investigated the conduction velocity of motor and autonomic nerves, motor nerve to foot interosseous muscle and cervical vagus and sympathetic nerve, in streptozotocin diabetic rats (1-3 months duration of diabetes) and compared it with that of age-matched controls. In diabetic rats, the motor nerve conduction velocity was significantly reduced but the conduction velocity of cervical vagus and sympathetic nerves was not reduced.
