“…Because cataplexy occurrence varies widely between narcolepsy models (e.g., Veh groups in Figure 5A-D ) as well as among mice of the same genotype (46), data from Alm-pretreated Atax mice and DTA Dox(−) mice were pooled to assess correlations between cataplexy density (number of cataplexy bouts per minutes awake) after Veh vs. the therapeutic change from Veh post-dosing with RO5263397 (0.3-3 mg/kg), RO5256390 (1-10 mg/kg) and Des (5 mg/kg) ( Figure 5E-F ). Pearson product-moment correlations revealed that, as basal cataplexy levels increased (measured as cataplexy density after Veh treatment), cataplexy density after drug treatment decreased for RO5263397 (0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg) ( r (14)=−0.89, −0.62, −0.77, respectively, all P <0.01), RO5256390 (1, 3, 10 mg/kg) ( r (14)=−0.97, −0.74, −0.82, respectively, all P <0.01) and Des (5 mg/kg) ( r (14)=−0.92, P <0.01).…”
