4.94 (3.18– 9.17)

p = 0.033

Control group

8.05 (4.18 – 12.80)

p = 0.029

Dogs with single generalized seizures

16

3.81 (1.77 – 6.41)

Dogs with IE for > 6 months

8.30 (4.60 – 15.00)

p = 0.036

Dogs with IE for < 6 months

20

4.10 (2.99 – 7.85)

  1. IE, Idiopathic epilepsy.
  2. Group differences of endocannabinoid concentrations were tested using the Wilcoxon-Test.
  3. Differences were considered statistically significant when the p value was < 0.05.
  4. AEA levels are presented as median and 25 – 75% percentiles.
