Linear regression analysis (Pearson product-moment correlation). Association between lead poisoning and precoproporphyrin appearance in urine of ASD patients. (A) The interrelation between precoproporphyrin and lead content (r = −0.4145; p < 0.2050). (B) The interrelation between monocytes count in blood and lead content (r = −0.7154; p = 0.0089). (C) The interrelation between precoproporphyrin and monocytes count in blood (r = 0.7108; p = 0.0142). Pearson correlation coefficients were computed to determine inter-metabolite correlations. P < 0.05 were used to indicate statistical significance.
