Serial morphometric observations were made on the tibial nerves of mature rats before and five weeks after the induction of diabetes by streptozotocin. Maximum and average myelinated fiber diameter did alter, neither did the relationship between myelin sheath thickness and axon circumference. This confirms previous observations suggesting that the reduced nerve conduction velocity that is known to occur in experimental diabetes is likely to depend on metabolic alterations rather than on structural changes.
对成年大鼠的胫神经进行了系列形态测量观察，观察时间为链脲佐菌素诱导糖尿病之前及之后五周。有髓纤维的最大直径和平均直径确实发生了变化，髓鞘厚度与轴突周长之间的关系也没有变化。这证实了先前的观察结果，即实验性糖尿病中已知发生的神经传导速度降低可能取决于代谢改变而非结构变化。
