(a) Dendrogram and heat maps of the expression of upregulated genes including CPT1B and qRT-PCR data of CPT1B in the blood of subjects with (n=28) and without PTSD (n=31). (b) CPT1B mRNA level was significantly higher in subjects with PTSD than that in the non-PTSD controls (*P<0.05). (c) Diagram presenting the model of overexpression of CPT1B in subjects with PTSD and stressed animals. CPT1B, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B; mRNA, messenger RNA; PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
