Abstract
Spontaneous diabetes can develop a neuropathy that affects function and morphology of the peripheral nerves both in men and in animals (7, 14, 16, 22). Diabetes can also be induced by a single injection of Alloxan or Streptozotocin (15), drugs that exert a toxic effect on the beta-cells of the Langerhans islets. In rats treated with either. Alloxan or Streptozotocin a decrease in nerve conduction velocity is evident within a few weeks after intoxication (3, 20).
