Transplantation protocol, nerve conduction velocity, and sciatic nerve blood flow. a Eight weeks after the injection of streptozotocin, 1 × 105 hDPSCs were transplanted at 10 separate sites in the unilateral hindlimb muscle. b Body weights of nude mice. c Blood glucose concentration of nude mice. d The MNCV and SNCV of diabetic mice were significantly delayed compared with those of normal mice. Transplantation of hDPSCs ameliorated the delayed MNCV and SNCV. e Measurement of blood flow to the sciatic nerve was performed at 4 weeks after transplantation. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. MNCV, motor nerve conduction velocity; SNCV, sensory nerve conduction velocity; SNBF, sciatic nerve blood flow
