For BDNF there was a main effect of gender such that women were found to demonstrate higher levels of plasma BDNF than men ( F (1,30) = 6.88, p < 0.05) and there was a nearly significant gender × pre-post interaction ( p = 0.06) indicating a tendency for women to show greater relative increases in BDNF over the course of the retreat.
