From: The role of anxious distress in immune dysregulation in patients with major depressive disorder

Adjusted difference in basal and innate inflammatory markers between MDD patients with versus without (ref) the DSM-5 anxious distress specifier. *Results survive the Benjamini–Yekutieli correction for multiple comparisons threshold of <0.012, adjusted regression coefficients and error bars (95% CI) of ln-transformed inflammatory markers (MMP-2 and TNF-β were also ln-transformed for easy comparison). CRP C-reactive protein, IFN interferon, IL interleukin, LPS lipopolysaccharide, MCP, monocyte chemotactic protein, MDD major depressive disorder, MIP, macrophage inflammatory protein, MMP matrix metalloproteinase, TNF tumor necrosis factor. Based on analyses of covariance. Adjusted for site, age, sex, smoking status, alcohol intake, physical activity and number of chronic diseases under treatment
