Partial Replacement with Menhaden Oil Improves Peripheral Neuropathy in High-Fat-Fed Low-Dose Streptozotocin Type 2 Diabetic Rat

Figure 4

Effect of treatment of high-fat/streptozotocin diabetic rats with menhaden-oil- (MO-) supplemented diet on thermal nociception and intraepidermal nerve fiber density. Thermal nociception and intraepidermal nerve fiber density was examined as described in Section 2. Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. for thermal nociception in sec and intraepidermal nerve fiber profiles per mm. The number of rats in each group was the same as shown in Table 2. ^∗𝑃<0.05 compared to control rats; ⁺𝑃<0.05 compared to diabetic rats.
