Electrospun Nanofibers Loaded with Quercetin Promote the Recovery of Focal Entrapment Neuropathy in a Rat Model of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes

Table 1

The effect of zein-based polymeric nanofibers loaded with quercetin on the lesioned nerve function in diabetic rats (/group). The SFI are regarded as normal when they fall within the range of −10 to 10%. , , and , respectively, compared to DM + crush injury and no treatment. and , respectively, compared to DM + crush injury + zein-based nanofiber.
