Effect of correcting growth factor concentrations for total protein level on the relationship between concentration and time. Data show nonlinear curves for unadjusted concentrations (pg/mL) of HGF (blue), TGFβ1 (orange), TGFβ2 (green), and TGFβ3 (pink) in colostrum in relation to time of sampling. Correlations were explored using raw data (a); and the ratio of growth factor concentration to protein concentration in the same sample (b). Trends in absolute and relative growth factors concentration in colostrum change over time. All correlation coefficients were statistically significant apart from the TGFβ3/Protein ratio in Figure 3b.
