Diabetes and obesity are increasing in prevalence at an alarming rate throughout the world.
Autonomic diabetic neuropathy is evident in individuals that experience a long-standing
diabetic disease state, and gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility is thought to be the outcome of
neuropathies within the enteric nervous system (ENS) of these patients. To date, an analysis
of enteric glial cell population changes during diabetic symptoms has not been performed,
and may bring insight into disease pathology and neuropathy, given glial cell implications in …
