The association of TNF-α and MDA levels with psychotic symptoms categorized by sex. A partial correlation analysis was applied. The green dotted curve presents 95% confidence interval. A The association between TNF-α levels and positive symptoms in female patients with schizophrenia (N = 43). TNF-α levels were associated with PANSS positive score in female patients (r = − 0.49, p = 0.002, pBonferroni= 0.008). B The association between TNF-α levels and positive symptoms in male patients with schizophrenia (N = 76). TNF-α levels were associated with PANSS negative score in male patients (r = 0.31, p = 0.01, pBonferroni= 0.04). C The association between MDA levels and general psychopathology symptom in male patients with schizophrenia (N = 76). MDA levels were associated with PANSS general psychopathology scores in male patients (r = − 0.32, p = 0.007, pBonferroni= 0.03)
