Figure 4. Human milk concentration of selected cytokines among women delivering Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) babies versus Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies.

Figure 4

Colostrum (Col) and mature (Mat) milk of mothers of VLBW newborns had higher levels of (a) IP-10, (e) IL-17 and (f) G-CSF, while (b) IL-8, (c) MIP-1β, (d) MCP-1, (g) TGF-β1 and (h) TGF-β2 were higher only in mature samples; *P<0.05; **P<0.01. Statistical significance was calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test.
