Therapeutic Potential of Dioscorea Extract (DA-9801) in Comparison with Alpha Lipoic Acid on the Peripheral Nerves in Experimental Diabetes
Figure 2
Von Frey filament (a) and hot plate (b) response of the experimental groups. Threshold of tactile response was lower in the nontreated diabetic group as compared with the DM+DA-9801 or DM+ALA groups on the 8th week. On the 16th week, however, this trend was reversed, and the thermal response was also changed in a similar pattern to the tactile response. Data are presented as means SD. versus Normal and versus DM ( in each group). ALA: Alpha lipoic acid and DM: diabetes.
