Protective Effects of BDNF against C-Reactive Protein-Induced Inflammation in Women

Figure 1

Association of 8-oxodG on BDNF at selected levels of hsCRP in African Americans (AA) and whites. For the graphs, each box corresponds to different levels of hsCRP. BDNF levels are indicated on the -axis and 8-oxodG levels are shown on the -axis. At low levels of hsCRP, 8-oxodG levels are identical between AAs and whites at all levels of BDNF. However, with increasing levels of hsCRP and at high levels of BDNF, white women have elevated levels of 8-oxodG compared with AA women.
