Correlations between bioenergetic parameters and phagocytosis. (A-C) Plots showing Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients between neutrophil bioenergetic parameters and phagocytic capacity. The size of the corresponding circle and the color of the circle indicate the magnitude of the correlation coefficient. Asterisks indicate correlations that were significant with p < 0.05. Correlations of particular interest (between phagocytosis and bioenergetic parameters) are outlined in green. (A) All subjects together (n = 10); (B) Males only (n = 6); (C) Females only (n = 4). (D) Time to maximum OCR correlated with phagocytosis. R = 0.89 and p = 0.02 in males; R = −0.6 and p = 0.50 in females. (E) Time to maximum ECAR correlated with phagocytosis. R = 0.83 and p = 0.04 in males; R = −0.4 and p = 0.6 in females. n = 6 males, n = 4 females. Correlations calculated using Spearman’s rank correlation.
