[Influence of metabolic control on peripheral diabetic neuropathy (author's transl)]. 1981

B Conte-Devolx, and J J Papy, and J Conte-Devolx, and D Rossi, and G Fontaine, and J L Codaccioni

The influence of metabolic control on peripheral neuropathy was studied in a population of adult insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Motor conduction velocity (MCV), measured on the common peroneal nerve, was used as electrophysiological index of neuropathy. Following control of hyperglycaemia, rapid and significant improvement in MCV was observed in diabetics without renal or ocular complications, but not in diabetics presenting with these complications. This would suggest that peripheral diabetic neuropathy is governed by two different mechanisms and that one of these is metabolic, as it can be reversed by reinstating glucide balance.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D003920 Diabetes Mellitus A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D003929 Diabetic Neuropathies Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
