Fig 2
Serial levels of serum biomarkers in total patients.
**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 between each time point after Bonferroni correction. Serial changes in serum concentrations of (A) mature BDNF, (B) proBDNF, and (C) MMP-9. Abbreviations: BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; MMP-9, matrix metalloproteinase-9; T0, completion of acute stroke care; T1, 2 weeks after transfer to the rehabilitation department; T2, 3 months post-stroke onset.
