Figure 5. Age and gender differences in serum sFas,. sFasL and total cytochrome c levels. The serum levels of the apoptotic biomarkers were segregated by gender and by decade. Tukey box and whiskers plots (female clear boxes, male shaded boxes) of sFas (a), sFasL (b) and total cytochrome c (c) depicting the top, bottom, and line through the middle of the box correspond to the 75th percentile (top quartile), 25th percentile (bottom quartile), and 50th percentile (median) respectively. The error bar-like whiskers depict 1.5 x the interquartile range and the solid circles represent outliers. Comparisons between genders were performed conservatively by Mann Whitney U-test.
