The efficacy of MitoTEMPO, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, in altering nerve fiber conduction properties within the sciatic nerve of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, a model for diabetic neuropathy characterized by myelinated fiber atrophy and nodal abnormalities. Utilizing the STZ-induced diabetic rat model, we assessed the impact of MitoTEMPO on nerve function through compound action potential (CAP) analysis and histological evaluation. Key indicators such as maximum depolarization (MD), CAP area, and conduction velocity distribution (CVD) were measured to gauge MitoTEMPO's neuroprotective effects, alongside physical parameters like weight and blood glucose levels.

Introduction: Sciatica is a debilitating condition that often becomes chronic, and for which there are few effective treatment options. Treatments such as the anti-depressant duloxetine have shown promise, but the evidence is inconclusive. We are describing a high quality, definitive trial to investigate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of duloxetine in chronic sciatica.

Diabetes is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders, and its incidence has been experiencing a steady annual rise in recent years. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) represents the most frequent adverse complication, exerting a profound impact on the quality of life for those suffering from diabetes. The etiology of DPN is complex, including impaired mitochondrial function.
