Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlations between serum IGF-1 and BDNF immunoreactivity and age. Spearman’s correlations: ( a ) IGF-1 correlation of all samples with age, r s = 0.345, p = 0.013, n = 51. ( b ) IGF-1 correlation of each group separately with age (control group r s = 0.207, p = 0.282, n = 29; autism group r s = 0.429, p = 0.046, n = 22). ( c ) Total BDNF correlation of all samples with age, r s = − 0.233, p = 0.101, n = 51. ( d ) Total BDNF and proBDNF correlations with age in the control group (total BDNF r s = − 0.436, p = 0.018, n = 29; proBDNF r s = 0.516, p = 0.005, n = 28). ( e ) Total BDNF and proBDNF correlations with age in the autism group (total BDNF r s = − 0.010, p = 0.966, n = 22; proBDNF r s = − 0.205, p = 0.359, n = 22. ( f ) Correlation of proBDNF/total BDNF in each group separately with age (control group r s = 0.469, p = 0.012, n = 28; autism group r s = − 0.075, p = 0.739, n = 22). Open triangles, controls; filled circles, autism; open diamonds, total BDNF; closed diamonds, proBDNF.
Article Snippet: BDNF, proBDNF and IGF-1 ELISA: Serum BDNF, proBDNF and IGF-1 were measured using the Human BDNF DuoSet ELISA kit DY248, Human proBDNF DuoSet ELISA kit DY3175 and Human IGF-1 Quantikine ELISA kit DG100 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, US).
