  1. Values of age, height, weight and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Significant differences of PwMS (EDSS 0.0–5.0), MS subgroup 1 (EDSS 0.0–1.5) and MS subgroup 2 (EDSS 2.0–5.0) from healthy controls are indicated with ‘*’ (p < 0.05). MS subgroups were established using a median split based on EDSS scores
