Comparison of serum IL-17A (ai) and IL-23A (aii) levels between GAD patients and healthy controls. Data were presented as mean ± SD and analyzed by two tailed unpaired t test to determine the statistical level of significance between mean difference of two groups where p < 0.05 is considered to be statistically significant. [*] represents p < 0.05 and [***] represents p < 0.001. Scatter diagram of GAD-7 scores vs serum IL-17A levels (bi) and serum IL-23A levels (bii) in the patient group were presented. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to find out the potential association between serum cytokine levels and GAD-7 scores of GAD patients. Both the male (red colored circular point) and female (blue colored rectangular point) GAD patients showed significant association between IL-17 or IL-23 serum levels and GAD-7 scores.
