This study aimed to evaluate the effect of intracerebroventricular administration (ICV) of CGRP and rCT on mRNA expression of CGRP and rCT peptides in the Periaqueductal Gray Area (PAG) of the diabetic rats in the formalin test. Material & Methods: This study investigated 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats in four groups (n=6). To induce diabetes, streptozotocin at a dose of 45 mg/kg was used intraperitoneally. CGRP or rCT peptides at a dose of 1.5 nmol with a volume of 5 μl were ICV injected daily for seven days. Pain-related behaviors were recorded in the formalin test for up to 60 min in the study groups. The PAG was then removed to assess the changes made in the mRNA expression of the CGRP and rCT. (Ethic code: INT2M129396) Findings: ICV injection of CGRP or rCT in diabetic rats reduced pain in the acute and middle phases of the formalin test. In addition, ICV administration of CGRP increased CGRP mRNA expression in the PAG. However, ICV administration of rCT increased the mRNA expression of both CGRP and rCT peptides after seven days in the PAG.

In this study, due to the nature of the variables, a bivariate Capula regression model was used to identify the factors affecting the liver enzymes (ALT and AST) and the relationship between these enzymes. This type of regression is suitable when the response variables have a relatively high degree of skewness and interdependence. Material & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 2000 participants in the Shahrekord cohort study were randomly selected. To achieve the Capula regression model, the inverse Gaussian margin distribution and the Gumble joint function were selected according to the Akaike criterion. Gamlss, Copula, and Ggrm statistical packages were used in the R software. (Ethic code: 3316) Findings: According to the findings, some variables were identified as effective factors on the concentration of ALT and AST enzymes through marginal distribution parameters and Capula function. Blood urea, triglyceride, GGT, ALP, and BMI had a nonlinear and significant effect on the mean concentration of the ALT enzyme. The BMI, GGT, ALP, LDL, and HDL (nonlinearly), as well as blood urea (linearly), had a significant effect on the mean concentration of AST enzyme. Finally, the variables of BMI, triglycerides, GGT, and ALP affect the relationship between the concentration levels of the liver enzymes (ALT and AST) . Discussion & Conclusion: Using this model, in addition to identifying the effective factors, it is possible to distinguish between linear and nonlinear relationships between independent and dependent variables.","PeriodicalId":16041,"journal":{"name":"journal of ilam university of medical sciences","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88358629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
