A deficiency in essential fatty acid metabolism has been reported in diabetes. Nutritional supplementations with (n-6) or (n-3) PUFA have differential efficiency on parameters of diabetic neuropathy, including nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and nerve blood flow (NBF). The aim of this study was to
The effects of evening primrose oil (EPO) treatment, a source of gamma-linolenic acid, on the proportions of arachidonoyl-containing molecular species (ACMS) in sciatic nerve phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were determined in conjunction with alterations in nerve conduction
Effects of essential fatty acids on nerve conduction, hypoxic resistance, skeletal muscle contractile properties, and capillary density were examined in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. Nondiabetic and diabetic controls and three diabetic groups treated with 10% supplements of corn oil, evening
