|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before | After | P | Before | After | P | ∗P | |
| Striatal DAT binding (SNR-BR) | 5.21 ± 1.26 | 4.71 ± 0.87 | 0.08 | 4.60 ± 1.22 | 5.18 ± 1.27 | 0.11 | 0.02 |
| Thalamic SERT binding (SNR-BR) | 0.46 ± 0.15 | 0.42 ± 0.15 | 0.54 | 0.45 ± 0.18 | 0.51 ± 0.16 | 0.21 | 0.17 |
| Hypothalamic SERT binding (SNR-BR) | 0.51 ± 0.26 | 0.32 ± 0.23 | 0.12 | 0.41 ± 0.31 | 0.53 ± 0.5 | 0.37 | 0.08 |
Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ∗p = change over time between groups. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. DAT = dopamine transporter, SERT = serotonin transporter, SNR-BR = specific to non-specific binding ratio.
