The effect of glycemic variability (GV) on diabetic neuropathy, including diabetic central neuropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and the involved mechanism are not fully understood. In this study, a fluctuant hyperglycemia rat model was induced by alternate intraperitoneal injections of glucose and insulin. To assess diabetic central neuropathy, step-down type passive avoidance tests were conducted, and the expression levels of p-Tau, T-Tau, p-GSK3β, GSK3β, p-Akt, and Akt in the hippocampus were measured.
