Fig. 1 Concentrations of soluble adhesion molecules (ng/mL) in healthy controls (n=24) and FM patients (n=18), pre- and post-DEX (1.5 mg): sICAM-1 (A), sVCAM-1 (B) and sL-selectin (C). Mean concentration (●) ±standard error (S.E.) is shown adjacent to the individual data points (○). Covariate-adjusted means for age (sICAM-1, sVCAM-1) and antidepressants intake (sICAM-1, sL-selectin).
