Figure 1. Comparison of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine ratios between groups.

Figure 1

Four box- and- whisker plots were used to depict the distribution of pro-to anti-inflammatory cytokine ratios between the healthy control group and the patients group with generalised anxiety disorder. In comparison to the heathy control group, the patients group had significantly increased pro- to anti-inflammatory cytokine ratios, which suggests a distinct cytokine imbalance. HC, healthy control; GAD, generalised anxiety disorder.
