Hyperglycemia causes damage in the blood vessels and nerves of the body, which in turn develop into the major complications of diabetes. Peripheral neuropathy and peripheral circulatory disorder may induce diabetic foot lesions Our purpose of this study was to assess peripheral micro-vessel damage in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats by using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and histological experiment.
