Table 2. Relative enrichment values of glutamate C2/C3 and glutamine C2/C3 C4 in the S1BF (rest or activated).
Control rats | MCT2 rats | UNIV rats | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
rest | activated | rest | activated | rest | activated | |
Glu C2/C3 | 0.96 ± 0.04 | 0.99 ± 0.05 | 0.83 ± 0.12 | 0.86 ± 0.08 | 0.97 ± 0.04 | 0.97 ± 0.13 |
Gln C2/C3 | 1.28 ± 0.07* | 1.24 ± 0.07* | 0.87 ± 0.12# | 0.78 ± 0.13# | 1.20 ± 0.18* | 1.25 ± 0.16* |
Three groups were studied: control rats (n = 12), rats that previously received a local injection into the somatosensory cortex of a lentiviral vector encoding a shRNA directed against MCT2 (MCT2 rats, n = 8) or a non targeting sequence (UNIV rats, n = 8).
*: statistically different from Glu C2/C3.
#: statistically different from control and UNIV rats.
