Summary of the experimental design of the quantitative Real-Time PCR study indicating the numbers of mice per group, the total number of mice in the study (N) and the ANOVA F and p values.
Receptor | Number of mice/group | Number of conditions (time points, sex, TMEV vs control) | Total number of mice (N) | F Value | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MOR mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 52 | 14.677 | <0.0001 |
DOR mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 51 | 13.687 | <0.0001 |
KOR mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 51 | 9.859 | <0.0001 |
Sigma-1 mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 53 | 15.251 | <0.0001 |
CCR-1 mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 52 | 18.756 | <0.0001 |
CCR-5 mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 52 | 11.272 | <0.0001 |
AT1 mRNA | 4-5 | 12 | 53 | 2.939 | <0.0059 |
Note: Spinal cord mRNA from the same group of 53 mice was used for all Q-PCR experiments. The n varies among receptors due to lack of adequate amounts of cDNA from 2 mice.
