Although these did not reach statistical significance, there was a strong upward trend in the KO + TLQP-21 vs KO comparison that are absent from the KO + C3aSA vs KO comparison in levels of Wasf1 (logFC = 1.936739127; p -value = 2.50E-05; adjusted p -value = 0.146110951), Dmrtb1 (logFC = 2.907497541; p -value = 2.45E-05; adjusted p -value = 0.146110951) and Adcyap1r1 (logFC = 3.114420357; p -value = 3.40E-05; adjusted p -value = 0.146110951).
