Abstract
Our results indicate that WOKW rats show an up-regulated autophagy and a mild inflammatory response but do not develop overt neuropathy. We suggest that autophagy and inflammatory cells may exert a protective role in preventing neuropathy in this rat model of the metabolic syndrome but the mechanism of action is still unclear.
