Recent studies have demonstrated that the class 3 semaphorin subfamilies have the most significant role in metabolic disorders. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of obesity on skeletal muscle Sema3C levels in male and female Wistar rats.\u0000Method: In this experimental study, 12 male and female 8-week-old Wistar rats with a mean weight of 138 ± 13.60 gr were randomly assigned to two groups of six: non-obese (three males and three females) and Obese (three males and three females). The rats were dissected after eight weeks of induction of obesity and 18-20 hours of fasting, and their skeletal muscle tissue was rapidly removed and frozen. The sema3C level of skeletal muscle was measured by ELISA. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) using a two-way ANOVA test at a significance level of P≤0.0. In addition, the effect of obesity intervention was investigated in male and female rats separately.\u0000Results: Based on the results of the present study, the level of Sema3C in male and female rats in the obese group increased; nonetheless, it was not significant (P≥0.05). Moreover, Lee's index did not change significantly in male and female rats in the obese group (P≥0.05).\u0000Conclusion: It seems that a high-fat diet increases the level of Sema3C in skeletal muscle which can have negative effects on the whole body system considering the role of this adipokine in the spread of metabolic diseases","PeriodicalId":16423,"journal":{"name":"journal of north khorasan university of medical sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90768367","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}

The study population included human resources in the health sector. Data were collected from the national portal of the Statistical Center of Iran and the population yearbook of the province using a researcher-made form. Data were analyzed in STATA (version 12) and DASP (version 2.2) software packages.\u0000Results: For every 10,000 people, 55.3 human resources were working in the health sector of North Khorasan province. Human health resources are distributed equally in this province. The Gini coefficient for all human health resources, except nurses and specialists, was less than 0.2, indicating complete equality in the distribution of resources. The lowest coefficient value was related to general practitioners (0.052), and the highest Gini coefficient pertained to specialized physicians (0.422), pointing to a relative inequality in the distribution of specialized physicians.\u0000Conclusion: The removal of inequalities in human resources in the health sector in different regions can result in the promotion of equality in health outcomes.
