Table 1: Comparison of serum BDNF levels of ASD cases with controls.
Subjects | Number of subjects (N) | Mean age | Serum BDNF concentration (Mean ± SD) ng/mL | p value as compared to Controls |
---|---|---|---|---|
The significance is set at p<0.05, where *** = p<0.001, implying an extremely significant difference. | ||||
