Ubiquitin Carboxy-Terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) is increased in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of patients after epileptic seizure

Table 2 CSF and plasma concentration of UCH-L1 in patients with seizure and in controls

		N	Epileptic Group (n = 52)	N	Controls (n = 19)	P-value
After seizure	CSF UCH-L1	51	0.934 (0.513-1.582)	13	0.627 (0.234-0.723)	0.008*
	Plasma UCH-L1	33	0.163 (0.119-0.253)	16	0.145 (0.116-0.192)	0.2
Within 12 hrs after seizure	CSF UCH-L1	26	1.300 (0.55-1.822)			0.005*
	Plasma UCH-L1	16	0.186 (0.154-0.286)			0.025†

Data are given as median (interquartile range).
* p < 0.01, † p < 0.05 (p values of the Mann–Whitney test for differences between the groups [patients versus controls]).
