Table 3. Overview of mean levels of PBMC AKT1 expression levels (log-transformed relative intensity values) between patients and controls and between patient subgroups.
Controls | Patients (all) | Patients (acute) vs patients (stabilized) | Patients (antipsychotic naïve) | Patients (antipsychotic free>2 weeks) | Patients (medicated) | Patients using nicotine vs non-nicotine | Patients using cannabis vs non-cannabis | |
