  • Title: Conduction velocity and fibre diameter of the peroneal nerve in normal and growth retarded fetal sheep.
    Author: Rees S, Proske U, Harding R.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1989 Apr 24; 99(1-2):157-63. PubMed ID: 2748006.
    Abstract:
    In this study we have examined structural and functional aspects of nerve fibre development in experimentally growth retarded fetal sheep following restriction of placental growth by carunclectomy in 5 ewes. Measurement of whole-nerve conduction velocity in the peroneal nerve showed, for the most rapidly conducting fibres, a significant slowing from the normal value of 50.3 +/- 1.8 m/s to 33.8 +/- 3.3 m/s (P less than 0.01). Histological examination of nerve sections revealed a deficit of large myelinated fibres in growth retarded fetuses which is consistent with the conduction velocity measurements.
