a: average of values from the same treatment in each point were submitted to the Spearman’s correlation test. We included samples from DENV infected Huh-7 treated with Uncaria guianensis bark extract (UGB) at concentrations 25, 10 or 5 µg/mL or U. guianensis leaf extract (UGL) treated with 5, 1 or 0.5 µg/mL at time-points of 24, 48 or 72 h; b: live cell counts per 100 µL; c: NS1 ratio; d: percent of DENV +positive cells; e: IL-6, IL-8 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) pg/mL.
