Table 3.
The conditional averages of cytokines levels given that the MMSE test results take a value from particular interval. Original concentrations are presented in pg/ml, as well as relative concentrations, with minimal concentrations as a baselines (minimal concentrations taken as 1).
| Cytokine | MMSE Score Interval | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-14 | 15-19 | 20-24 | 25-30 | ||
| TNF | pg/ml | 95 | 64 | 47 | 43* |
| Relative** | 2.21 | 1.49 | 1.09 | 1* | |
| IL-6 | pg/ml | 5319 | 4793 | 4424 | 3522 |
| Relative | 1.51 | 1.36 | 1.26 | 1 | |
| IL-10 | pg/ml | 90 | 69 | 60 | 49 |
| Relative | 1.84 | 1.41 | 1.22 | 1 | |
| IL-1 | pg/ml | 71 | 65 | 64 | 53 |
| Relative | 1.34 | 1.23 | 1.21 | 1 | |
* Minimal concentration taken as baseline.
** Relative = concentration/minimal concentration.
