Table 5. Year 4 cytokine and behavior associations.

Associations between cell culture cytokine production after 48 hours of stimulation with TLR-4 agonist, TLR-3 agonist or in media and self-directed stereotyped behaviors measured around 4 years of life. Data presented as Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and p value. Only significant correlations are shown.
