Figure 2. Correlations between motor/cognition performance scores and levels of serum isoprostanes.
Low motor or cognition performance significantly correlated with high concentrations of 8,12-iso-iPF2alpha-VI isoprostane in children affected by konzo. (A) MPI (mental processing index) also referred to as KABC-II scores in main text versus serum level of 8,12-iso-iPF2α-VI isoprostane (triangles = konzo children, r = −0.78, p = 0.00; circles = non-konzo children, r = −0.24, p = 0.47). (B) BOT-2 scores versus serum level of 8,12-iso-iPF2α-VI isoprostane (triangles = konzo children, r = −0.63, p<0.01; circles = non-konzo children, r = −0.06, p = 0.86).
