Serum assay results.
| Serum analytes | Median (IQR) | t* | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CES-D < 16 n = 28 |
CES-D ≥ 16 n = 19 |
|||
| IL-17 (pg/mL) | 40.4 (32.8–52.2) | 38.0 (33.2–50.7) | 0.66 | 0.52 |
| IL-23 (pg/mL) | 300 (273–438) | 262 (192–382) | 1.81 | 0.08 |
| IL-10 (pg/mL) | 0.20 (0.20–2.41) | 0.20 (0.20–2.07) | 0.10 | 0.92 |
| IFN-γ (pg/mL) | 0.85 (0.18–1.00) | 1.00 (0.23–1.00) | 0.20 | 0.84 |
| LPH (nmol/mL) | 11.2 (8.25–13.0) | 9.06 (7.63–10.5) | 0.84 | 0.41 |
*t values and corresponding P values reflect results of Student's t-test using log transformed values.
Percentages of analyte concentrations returned below the limit of detectability were 0% for IL-17, IL-23, and LPH, 66% for IL-10, and 30% for IFN-γ.
