Temporal Progression of Microvascular Alterations in the Nailfold and Skeletal Muscle of Non‐Obese Type 2 Diabetic Rats
NFC structural alterations emerge alongside skeletal muscle microvascular rarefaction at the stage of glucose intolerance and precede overt muscle atrophy in fast-twitch muscle. NFC assessment may serve as a noninvasive indicator of early microvascular alterations relevant to diabetes-associated skeletal muscle deterioration.
