1 In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of Wnt 10a/beta-catenin signaling in DEX-induced alleviation of DNP in rats. dnp catenin beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 Rats with STZ-induced DNP had a decreased pain threshold, activated astrocytes, increased expression of Wnt 10a and beta-catenin, and increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines compared to the control group, and these effects were ameliorated by treatment with DEX. dnp catenin beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 In conclusion, DEX alleviated DNP in rats by inhibiting inflammation and astrocyte activation, which may be attributed to downregulation of the Wnt 10a/beta-catenin signaling pathway. dnp catenin beta 1 Rattus norvegicus
