Diabetic neuropathy results in vasomotor dysfunction of medium sized peripheral arteries

Table 1 Flow measurements of the brachial artery before and after stimulation in the diabetic neuropathy and control groups

	Diabetic neuropathy (n = 41)	Control (n = 41)	P value1
Flow before stimulation (mL/min)			< 0.001
mean ± SD	40.2 ± 19.8	75.5 ± 31.9
Median (25P-75P)	35.0 (30.0-53.0)	70.0 (65.0-86.0)
Min.-Max	8.0-103.0	23.0-204.0
Flow after stimulation (mL/min)			< 0.001
mean ± SD	88.5 ± 40.6	38.1 ± 17.3
Median (25P-75P)	77.0 (65.0-112.0)	35.0 (26.0-45.0)
Min.-Max.	23.0-201.0	7.0-103.0
P value2	< 0.001	< 0.001

¹Mann Whitney-U test was used.

²Wilcoxon test was used.
