Abstrakt: | Introduction: Here, we investigated inflammatory signs of peripheral nerves in leptin-deficient obese ob/ob mice and the modulating effects of the exogenous iron load. Methods: Ob/ob and ob/+ control mice were fed with high, standard, or low iron diet for four months. Results: We found intraepidermal nerve fiber degeneration in foot skin and low-grade neuropathic abnormalities including mildly slowed motor and compound sensory nerve conduction velocities and low-grade macrophage and T-cell infiltration without overt neuropathology in sciatic nerves of all ob/ob mice. Low dietary iron load caused more pronounced abnormalities than high iron load in ob/ob mice. Discussion: Our data suggest that dietary non-heme iron deficiency may be a modulating factor in the pathogenesis of peripheral neuropathy in obese ob/ob mice with metabolic syndrome. Once the mechanisms can be further elucidated, how low dietary iron augments peripheral nerve degeneration and dysfunction via pro-inflammatory pathways and new therapeutic strategies could be developed.
