In addition, these values were also very similar to those in experiment 2 (168 ± 17, Fig. 2B) where saline was not injected before the tongue protrusion test, indicating that AAV infection of the NAc and the resulting expression of Gi/Gq or intraperitoneal injection of saline 60 min prior to the test did not affect the number of basal tongue protrusions in response to honey. This evidence concerns the gene GNAI1 and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.
