Metanx Alleviates Multiple Manifestations of Peripheral Neuropathy and Increases Intraepidermal
Nerve Fiber Density in Zucker Diabetic Fatty Rats.
Studies have shown that corneal
nerve fiber density, measured by confocal microscopy, can predict diabetes - related damage to the peripheral nerves, called peripheral neuropathy.
These counting methods independently demonstrated significantly lower sub-basal corneal
nerve fiber density among SIV - infected animals that rapidly progressed to AIDS as compared to slow progressors.
Corneal
nerve fiber density was also directly correlated with epidermal nerve fiber length.

Yu and his research team discovered that in the diabetic mouse cornea, the
density of sensory
nerve fibers and their endings are drastically reduced, similar to patients with DPN.
Furthermore, vasa nervora increased in
density, and the ultrastructure of myelinated
fibers in
nerves was observed to be restored.
