Effect of Early and Late Interventions with Dietary Oils on Vascular and Neural Complications in a Type 2 Diabetic Rat Model

Figure 2

Effect of dietary oils on sensory nerve conduction velocity in high-fat-fed diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats. Sensory nerve conduction velocity was examined after early (open bars) and late (hatched bars) interventions as described in Materials and Methods. Data are presented as the in m/sec. The number of rats in each group was the same as shown in Tables 1 and 2, for the early and late intervention periods, respectively. Sensory nerve conduction velocities for control and diabetic rats at the beginning of the early intervention treatment were and , respectively. compared to control rats; compared to diabetic rats. OO: olive oil; SO: safflower oil; EPO: evening primrose oil; FO: flaxseed oil; MO: menhaden oil.
