Fig. 8. Genetic reconstitution of POMC and MOR improves gait parameters of diabetic mice.

Fig. 8

Gait parameters analyzed using Catwalk system in naïve control and diabetic mice: a before and c after intraplantar PKC inhibitor injection, (Gö6983, 20 μM, 45 min) For panels (a) and (c), shown as dot plot with median; two-tailed t-test. Naïve control, n = 10, and Diabetic, n = 12; 5–6 readings per mouse. Circles represent individual data points. Orange circle: control, teal circle: diabetic mice. Gait parameters analyzed in diabetic mice overexpressing AAV-1/2 constructs in the right hindlimb: b before and d after intraplantar PKC inhibitor injection. Data expressed as a ratio of left hindpaw/right hindpaw. For panel (b), n = 10/cohort, 1–3 readings per mouse; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test. For panel (d), D + GFP, n = 9; D + MOR, n = 10; D + POMC, n = 10; D + POMC-MOR, n = 10; 1–4 readings per mouse. For panel (d), *represents significant difference compared to D + GFP cohort. For panels (b) and (d), data represent mean ± SEM; one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test. Cyan bar: D + GFP, green bar: D + MOR, blue bar: D + POMC, red bar: D + POMC-MOR. For all panels, female mice data are shown; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 with 95% C.I. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
