From: Inflammatory biomarkers at different stages of Sarcopenia in older women
Distribution of biomarkers between groups. Plasma concentrations of biomarkers are higher in groups with more severity of sarcopenia. Comparisons were made using the ANOVA test and kruskal wallis depending on the distribution of the variable. In (a) plasma concentrations of BDNF (pg/ml). (b) IL-8 (pg/ml). (c) sTNFr-1 (pg/ml). (d) sTNFr-2 (pg/ml). Blood inflammatory biomarkers of the participants according to the sarcopenia severity (n = 71). BDNF brain derived neurothophic factor, TNF tumor necrosis factor, sTNFr soluble receptor of TNF, IL-8 interleukin 8; *difference statistically significant using Kruskal Wallis test for independent samples (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01).
