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 ELISA for the levels of IL-8. Fig 4A shows correlations between BMI and TNF-α levels and statistical significance was established using a Spearman rank test. Fig 4B shows TNF-α levels between the individuals with a normal BMI, moderately malnourished and severely malnourished individuals and statistical significance was established using a Kruskal-Wallis test.
