Abstract Emerging data establish dyslipidemia as a significant contributor to the
development of diabetic neuropathy. In this review, we discuss how separate
metabolic imbalances, including hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia, converge on
mechanisms leading to oxidative stress in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory
neurons. We conclude with suggestions for novel therapeutic strategies to
prevent or reverse diabetes-induced nerve degeneration.
