TSH Combined with TSHR Aggravates Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy by Promoting Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Schwann Cells

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN); however, the mechanism underlying this association remains unknown. This study is aimed at examining neurofunctional and histopathological alterations in a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) mouse model of SCH and investig...
