Establishment of diabetic model rats and isolation of SC. (a) The average body weight of rats in the control group increased time-dependently, while that in diabetes group almost kept constant. (b) After induction, the average concentration of blood glucose of rats in diabetes group was generally much higher than in control group. (c) SC isolated from sciatic nerve expressed S-100 protein.
