Nitrosative stress induces proliferation and viability changes in high glucose-exposed rat Schwannoma cells.

OBJECTIVES: Schwann cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of several neuropathies, such as those linked to an excess of d-glucose. Indeed, hyperglicemic condition can often result in the production of high reactive/nitrosative oxygen species concentration and possible damage of several cell structures. In the present work attention .....
