Painful diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of insulin-dependent diabetes in man. Conflicting results have been obtained in experimentally diabetic animals subjected to pain stimuli. This work aimed to systematically study the response of rats made diabetic (hyperglycemia > or = 14 mM) by injection of streptozocin (STZ) (75 mg/kg, i.p.), to various pain stimuli: mechanical, thermal (warm and cold) and chemical. The time course of the scores was followed for 4 weeks… CONTINUE READING
