Traditional Chinese Medicine Tang-Luo-Ning Ameliorates Sciatic Nerve Injuries in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats
Figure 1
Effects of TLN and α-LA on (a) sciatic MNCV and (b) distal digital SNCV at 10 and 20 weeks after streptozotocin injection. per group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. # versus CTL group, * versus STZ group; sciatic MNCV and distal digital SNCV of STZ group rats with streptozotocin injection decreased compared with CTL group (). Tang-Luo-Ning and alpha-lipoic acid intervention both increased sciatic MNCV and distal digital SNCV of injured sciatic nerve compared with STZ group (). MNCV: Motor nerve conduction velocity. SNCV: sensory nerve conduction velocity. Four groups: CTL group: nonstreptozotocin-induced group, STZ group: streptozotocin-induced diabetic group, TLN group: Tang-Luo-Ning group, and α-LA group: alpha-lipoic acid group.
