Diabetes mellitus can be produced in experimental animals by administration of alloxan or streptozotocin. As in diabetic patients (9), peripheral nerve conduction velocities are slow in animals with drug-induced diabetes (3). The morphologic correlates of slow conduction velocities in patients with diabetes are considered to be loss of large fibers, thinning of myelin, and segmental demyelination(17). In animals with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, peripheral nerve structure is normal even though conduction velocities remain slow (13). Thus, it must be assumed that functional changes in the nerves of these animals are responsible for the alteration of impulse conduction.Several biochemical abnormalities have been found in peripheral nerves from animals with experimental diabetes. These nerves contain increased amounts of sorbitol (6, 16) and decreased amounts of myoinositol(7). Lipid composition(4, 12) and the incorporation of lipid and protein precursors into peripheral myelin are also abnormal in diabetic animals although the amount of protein and its polypeptide constituents is normal (15). Although abnormalities of myelin composition might explain the decreased internodal resistance observed in alloxan-diabetic rats (5)) on the basis of computer simulations(8, 14) it is unlikely that the change in internodal resistance is, by itself, a sufficient explanation for the reduction
