Table 1

Endocannabinoid levels in the NTS area.

	NTS
	Control	Sensitized
Anandamide (pmol/g)	32.0 ± 3.0	49.9 ± 3.1^*
2-AG (nmol/g)	7.4 ± 0.1	6.5 ± 0.1^*
Palmitoylethanolamide (pmol/g)	961.4 ± 16.4	1187.8 ± 43.4^*

Data are means ± SEM of = 4 separate experiments. ^* < 0.05 as assessed by ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test.
