From: Impact of fasting on stress systems and depressive symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder: a cross-sectional study

Figure 2

Fasting results in similar increases in stress parameters in MDDlow and MDDhigh. Bar graphs (mean with SEM) depict delta values showing the difference post- to pre-fasting (T2–T1) of norepinephrine (NE, a), aldosterone (b), and cortisol (c) in MDDlow (BDI ≤ 19 at T1) and MDDhigh (BDI > 19 at T1). Mann–Whitney test was used to calculate two-tailed P-values. *P < .05. MDDlow: N = 11, MDDhigh: N = 10.
