[Electrophysiologic changes in peripheral nerves in patients with 2 acetylation types of diabetes mellitus].
The purpose of the work was checking whether possible electrophysiological changes in peripheral nerves in diabetes were connected with acetylation phenotype. The authors determined the conduction velocity in peripheral nerves (medianus, peroneal, femoral, facial and sural) in 49 diabetics, divided into two groups depending on the acetylation phenotype determined by Evans method. The results failed to demonstrate differences in the frequency of neuropathy between both groups of acetylators.
