Correlation between peripheral levels of NGF and neuroendocrine activity in rhesus monkeys. (A) NGF plasma levels correlated with cortisol in PR 60-days-old rhesus monkeys. For the PR monkey group a positive linear correlation between NGF and cortisol plasma levels was found (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, r = 0.940, p = 0.0017; MR: 6 females and 3 males; PR: 3 females and 4 males). (B) NGF plasma levels were found to correlate with GH in PR but not MR 60-days-old rhesus monkeys (Pearson’s correlation coefficient, r = 0.808, p < 0.05; MR: 4 females and 3 males; PR: 3 females and 4 males). All data expressed as means (+ SEM). GH = growth hormone; other abbreviations as in Figure 1 and 2.
