A morphometric study was carried out on electron micrographs of lumbar sympathetic nerve fibres surgically removed from 12 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans: 4 diabetics, 4 non-diabetics and 4 subjects with glucose intolerance. In patients with diabetes and glucose intolerance a significant decrease in the percent area fraction of unmyelinated axons and an increase in the percent area fraction of the endoneurial space were demonstrated.

Abstract
A morphometric study was carried out on electron micrographs of lumbar sympathetic nerve fibres surgically removed from 12 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans: 4 diabetics, 4 non-diabetics and 4 subjects with glucose intolerance. In patients with diabetes and glucose intolerance a significant decrease in the percent area fraction of unmyelinated axons and an increase in the percent area fraction of the endoneurial space were demonstrated.
