MIF, sTREM1, and sTREM2 levels in CSF are changed in different diagnostics groups. Raw values are presented and differences between groups were tested by ANCOVA adjusted for age or sex when applicable. We detected increased MIF levels in MCI and AD (A), sTREM1 was detected to be increased in AD (B), and increased sTREM2 levels were detected in MCI (C). Boxplots represent the median ± interquartile range. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
