Diabetic neuropathy results in vasomotor dysfunction of medium sized peripheral arteries

Figure 1 The brachial artery flow/diameter parameters of a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy before and after electrical stimulation. A: The pre-stimulation values of brachial artery flow/diameter were 55.5 mL/min/4.5 mm, respectively; B: The post-stimulation values in the same patient were 90 mL/min/4.8 mm, respectively.

Figure 2 The brachial artery volume flow rates/diameter values of a 43-year-old healthy control participant before electrical stimulation. A: The pre-stimulation values of brachial artery flow/diameter were 52.8 mL/min/2.8 mm, respectively; B: The post-stimulation values in the same patient were 35.3 mL/min/27 mm, respectively.
