Fig 1. Levels of Th1 cytokines in plasma.

Fig 1

The plasma from individuals with normal BMI (n = 17) and low BMI (n = 23, of which 9 were moderately malnourished and 14 were severely malnourished) was tested by Luminex for the levels of IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-12. Fig A, C and E show correlations between BMI and the different cytokines and statistical significance was established using a Spearman rank test. Fig 1B, D and F show cytokine levels between the individuals with a normal BMI, moderately malnourished and severely malnourished individuals and statistical significance was established using a Kruskal-Wallis test.
