Diabetic neuropathy results in vasomotor dysfunction of medium sized peripheral arteries

Table 3 Changes in brachial artery flow and diameter following stimulation

	Diabetic neuropathy (n = 41)	Control (n = 41)	P value
Change in flow (mL/min)			< 0.0011
mean ± SD	48.3 ± 33.1	-37.4 ± 21.2
Median (25P-75P)	39.0 (26.0-60.0)	-34.0 [-46.0-(-25.0)]
Min.-Max.	1.0-168.0	-102.0-(-0.2)
Change in diameter (mm)			0.0072
mean ± SD	0.2 ± 0.7	-0.2 ± 0.6
Median (25P-75P)	0.2 (-0.2-0.4)	-0.2 (-0.6-0.3)
Min.-Max.	-1.4-1.7	-1.5-0.9

¹Mann-Whitney U test was used.
