Table 3. Serum BDNF levels (ng/ml) in controls and type 2 diabetes by genotype groupings.
Val/Val | Met/Val | Met/Met | |
---|---|---|---|
Controls (n = 332) | 11.5 ± 2.4 | 11.5 ± 2.9 | 11.8 ± 2.4 |
Type 2 diabetes (n = 306) | 8.2 ± 3.0 | 7.6 ± 3.0 | 7.5 ± 2.9 |
p valuea | <0.01 | <0.01 | <0.01 |
aIndicates the comparison between patients and controls by genotype groupings. There was no significant effect of genotype on serum BDNF levels (p > 0.05) or genotype × diagnosis effect (p > 0.05).
