FIGURE 1.
Serum and fecal calprotectin and zonulin levels in the PD group vs. controls. *For serum and fecal calprotectin and fecal zonulin the upper reference limit is used as cut off. Since no study participants had serum zonulin levels above the upper reference limit, but a total of 14 had levels below the lower reference limit (see Table 2), for the purpose of this graph the lower reference limit is used as cut off.
