Table 5.
Target Gene | HC | MS | p Value |
---|---|---|---|
CNR1 average delta Ct * | 20.8 ± 0.2 | 20.3 ± 0.9 | 0.4635 |
CNR2 average delta Ct | 17.1 ± 0.2 | 16.6 ± 0.4 | 0.1867 |
FAAH average delta Ct | 19.1 ± 0.2 | 18.7 ± 0.4 | 0.2802 |
MGLL average delta Ct | 13.4 ± 0.3 | 13.1 ± 0.6 | 0.6103 |
The table includes mean delta Ct values ± SEM for CNR1, CNR2, FAAH and MGLL in untreated PBMCs. CNR1: cannabinoid receptor 1; CNR2: cannabinoid receptor 2; FAAH: fatty acid amide hydrolase; HC: Healthy control; MGLL: monoacylglycerol lipase; MS: Multiple sclerosis. Values are available for 19–24 HC cases and 9–17 pwMS. Statistical analysis: Unpaired t-test. * delta Ct = Ct of target gene–Ct of housekeeping gene.
