Chemokines that differed by group with small to medium effects in a multiple model; Age and BMI were centered (mean for the sample subtracted from each participant’s value), and group, gender and smoking status were coded as −.5 (women, HC, non-smokers) and +.5 (men, schizophrenia, smokers). MCP = monocyte chemoattractant protein, CCL = cysteine-cysteine ligand, MIP = macrophage inflammatory protein, TARC = thymus and activation-regulated chemokine, MDC = macrophage-derived chemokine, IL = interleukin; for Group, negative t-values indicate levels higher in schizophrenia patients, for Gender, negative t-values indicate levels higher in men, for Smoking status, negative t-values indicate levels higher in smokers.
significant difference at ≤ 0.001, 0.01 and 0.05, respectively.
