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.
