Oxytocin provides protection against diabetic polyneuropathy in rats.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the protective effects of oxytocin (OT) on diabetic neuropathy (DNP) in rats. ⋯ Present results demonstrate that OT appears to alleviate harmful effects of hyperglycemia on peripheral neurons by suppressing inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptotic pathways.
