M.S., NutritionThesis on Diabetic Neuropathy: Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and results in sensory and motor loss. Diabetic neuropathy contributes to the development of lower extremity ulcerations and amputations. The metabolism of glucose uses variety of biochemical pathways that can induce multiple cellular changes and result in complications. Developing therapies for neuropathy target these pathways, as they are a major source of vascular damage. Hyperglycemia also induces oxidative stress, contributing to the development of diabetic vascular and neural dysfunction. My paper summarized the theories and potential therapeutic interventions of diabetic complications induced by high blood glucose levels. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University 2007
B.S., Biology
