Gene mRNA	Tlr2 mRNA			Tlr4 mRNA
	r	P-value		r	P-value
Gfap	0.55	0.002a		–0.15	0.564
Th	0.77	0.010a		0.03	0.893
Gdnf	0.48	0.004a		0.24	0.332
Bdnf	0.67	0.003a		0.08	0.745
Htr4	–0.52	0.024a		0.61	0.008a

Tlr, Toll-like receptor; Gfap, glial fibrillary acidic protein; Th, tyrosine hydroxylase; Gdnf, glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor; Bdnf, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; Htr4, serotonin receptor 4.

aP < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
