                    In-vivo Model Diabetic neuropathy (DN) rat models were used in this study.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
DX augmented the DM metabolic disturbance and hepatic dysfunction, however, PH effectively amended these disorders. The low-dose combination of both, had the merits of both medications, with the alleviation of their disadvantages.
