Alteration of Mevalonate Pathway in Rat Splenic Lymphocytes: Possible Role in Cytokines Secretion Regulated by L-Theanine

Table 4

Effects of L-theanine treatment on the mRNA expression of key genes involved in mevalonate pathway in rat splenic lymphocytes.

Item	Control	ConA	ConA + LTHs			P value
			0.25 mM	1 mM	4 mM
Rap1A						<0.01
HMGCR						<0.01
FDPs						<0.01

Means in the same row not bearing a common superscript letter differ ; ConA = activation group; LTHs = L-theanine treatments.
