Table 5.
BDNF levels of controls (N = 60) and cases (after treatment, N = 60).
BDNF score | BDNF of controls (ng/ml) | BDNF of cases (after treatment) (ng/ml) | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Min | 8.20 | 9.80 | 0.001 |
Max | 106.52 | 98.84 | |
Mean | 32.41 | 22.29 | |
SD | 28.01 | 17.06 | |
Median | 20.84 | 16.00 | |
Q1 | 17.37 | 14.00 | |
Q3 | 31.06 | 23.25 |
p-value < 0.05 (significant). The Mann-Whitney U test is used. The difference between BDNF levels of controls and cases (after treatment) is significant (p value = 0.001). BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
