  1. * Spearman correlational analysis was used for the MDD and HC group, and spearman r (rs) is present in the table
  2. # Multiple linear regression (MLR) was used for correlational analysis in all participants to control for the diagnosis, and standardized beta (β) is present in the table; plasma complements and CRP were LN-transformed in MLR.
