| Abstract | Endoneurial hypoxia has been suggested as a mechanism of human and experimental diabetic neuropathy (EDN). We found that rats rendered diabetic for 4 months had reduced nerve blood flow (NBF) and nerve oxygen tension (PnO2). The NBF was reduced by at least 33% in EDN and 60% of the oxygen tensions in the endoneurial O2 histogram were less than 25 mm Hg (3.3 kPa) in EDN compared with only 19% in the controls. To test the hypothesis that EDN may in part be due to hypoxia, we studied the effectiveness of oxygen supplementation in preventing some electrophysiologic and biochemical abnormalities. Rats with EDN had reduced caudal nerve conduction velocity and had a resistance to ischemic conduction block. When a matched groups of rats with EDN were O2 supplemented for 4 weeks, the time to 50% block of nerve conduction and nerve conduction velocity was no longer statistically different from controls. Endoneurial free sugars (glucose, fructose, sorbitol) were markedly increased in EDN. Oxygen supplementation resulted in no change in plasma glucose; by contrast, these increased endoneurial free sugars were significantly reduced (towards normal) by 60%, 33%, and 34%, respectively. myo-Inositol, however, was further decreased by oxygen supplementation. These findings of a partial prevention of electrophysiologic and biochemical abnormalities support a role of hypoxia in the pathogenesis of EDN. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
