Data were normalized to separate vehicle treated rats for each respective time point and data expressed as 100% of control. CSF biomarker values that significantly differed from vehicle were determined using regular two-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc tests using a Dunnett correction factor for individual group comparisons as indicated; *p <0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. A significant effect on COMT ex vivo activity versus vehicle was determined using an unpaired t test as indicated; *p <0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
