a Negative association between change in telomerase activity (pre–post) and corresponding change in the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, self-rated version (LSAS-SR; β = –0.33, Z = 3.22, p = 0.001), indicating greater increases in telomerase activity in patients with more reduced social anxiety after treatment. The telomerase activity is given as (units/µl) in 0.588 µg of total protein ([3.68 × 8] / 50). b Negative association between change in GPx activity (pre–post) and corresponding change in the LSAS-SR (β = –0.28, Z = 2.34, p = 0.024), indicating greater increases in GPx activity in patients with more reduced social anxiety after treatment.
