(A) Experimental design. (B, C) C57BL/6J mice in dark (B) and in bright light
(C). Mice were pretreated by IP injection with isotype control or CGRP
monoclonal antibody (30 mg/kg). 24 hours later, mice were restrained and
recorded via camera during a two minute baseline dark condition (BD) followed by
a two minute light treatment condition (BL) (cool white, 27,000 lux). After
baseline conditions, mice were given an IP injection of either vehicle (PBS, 10
ml/kg IP) or CGRP (0.1 mg/kg). Thirty minute post-injection mice were again
restrained and recorded under a two minute dark condition (TxD) followed by a
two minute light condition (TxL). Average of 2 experiments per treatment, scored
by 3 blinded individuals (n=10 per group, ± SEM). Two-way
repeated measures ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparison test to
compare baseline and treatment conditions, **P
< 0.01, ****P < 0.001,
not significant (ns). To compare the effect of treatments, the deltas between
the scores after treatment from baseline were compared with a one-way ANOVA
followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test,
ΔP < 0.05, ΔΔP
< 0.01.
