Figure 3

Gene expression of CB-1 and CB-2 in CHC patients. Messenger RNA levels of CB1 and CB2 receptors were analyzed by Real Time-PCR. In (A) mean ± SD values of all patients analyzed for CB1 receptor are presented with no statistical change, in (B) a decrease after treatment was evident, CB2 receptor mRNA was significantly up-regulated (p < 0.05) in patients after treatment.
