dc.description.abstractDiabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. Patients with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any tune, but the longer a person has diabetes the greater the risk. This study aims to investigate diabetes- and coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) or alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation-induced changes in the conduction velocity (CV) distributions of rat sciatic nerve fibers. Sciatic nerve compound action potentials (CAPs) were recorded by suction electrode and CV distributions by the collision technique. Diabetes resulted in a significant increase in time to peak, rheobase and chronaxie values of these CAP waveforms, whereas the maximum depolarization, area, kinetics and CVs of both fast and slow nerve fiber groups were found to be decreased, Coenzyme Q(10) (CoQ(10)) supplementation was found to have some positive effect on the diabetes-induced alterations. CoQ(10) supplementation induced positive changes mainly, in the area and fall-down phase of the kinetics of CAP waveforms, as well as rheobase. chronaxie and speed of the intermediately conducting groups (congruent to 40 m/s). alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation did not produce statistically significant effects. This stud), has shown for the first tune that diabetes induces a shift of actively contributing nerve fibers toward slower CVs(10) and supplementation with CoQ(10) not only stopped this shift but also tended to restore velocities toward those of the age-matched control group. In addition to its effects on mitochondrial alterations, these positive effects of CoQ(10) on diabetic neuropathy) can be attributed to its antioxidant activity Copyright 2008 Prous Science, S.A.U. or its licensors.
