Expression of CB2 mRNA in the CFA model of inflammatory pain in rats. CB2 gene expressions detected in supra-spinal tissues hippocampus, thalamus, cortex and brainstem were not altered. Data expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3–5)
| CB2 relative expression levelsa | ||
|---|---|---|
| Tissues | Sham | CFA |
| Hippocampus | 1.83 ± 0.87 | 2.01 ± 0.38 |
| Thalamus | 1.14 ± 0.29 | 1.04 ± 0.09 |
| Sensory cortex | 1.61 ± 0.68 | 1.57 ± 0.36 |
| Brainstem | 0.98 ± 0.05 | 0.88 ± 0.08 |
