Biochemical functioning of mitochondria in normal and denervated mammalian skeletal muscle.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We aimed at evaluating the differential involvement of large myelinated Aβ-, small myelinated Aδ-, and unmyelinated C-fibers in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy and how they contribute to neuropathic pain. METHODS:We collected clinical and diagnostic test variables in 133 consecutive patients with diab...
