Table 3. α2AR mRNA Expression in Human DRG at Various Spinal Cord Levels
Data are reported as percent total α2AR mRNA present in human DRG at the appropriate spinal cord level or as absolute α2mRNA molecules (all subtypes) per μg total RNA. Because data are not distributed normally, the median value for each α2AR mRNA subtype is shown, with the interquartile range given in parenthesis.
n = 7 patients.
α2AR =α2-adrenergic receptor; DRG = dorsal root ganglion.
