Table 3 Expression level of iNOS, NF-κ B, and MPO in biopsies from the upper gastrointestinal tract from patients with normal and elevated HADS scores for depression and anxiety. Shown are the means and standard deviations of the expression grade for iNOS, NF-κ B and MPO in patients with normal and elevated HADS-D or HADS-A scores as well as the corresponding p values for the comparisons between the two groups
