The impact of low-dose insulin on peripheral nerve insulin receptor signaling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

The impact of low-dose insulin on peripheral nerve insulin receptor signaling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

BACKGROUND: The precise mechanisms of the neuroprotective effects of insulin in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic animals remain unknown, but altered peripheral nerve insulin receptor signaling due to insulin deficiency might be one cause. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Diabetes was induced...
