These observations suggest that PKC-beta contributes not only to diabetic hyperalgesia, but also to hypoalgesia and also contributes to defects in NCV. PKC-beta inhibitor, JTT-010, may be beneficial in suppressing the development of diabetic nerve dysfunction, including hyperalgesia and hypoalgesia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
