FIGURE 2.

Distributions of AFB₁-lysine (lys) adduct levels within Bangladeshi and Malawian mother–child dyads. Box plots of AFB₁-lysine adduct concentration with whiskers extended to 5th and 95th percentiles. Dotted red line indicates limit of detection (0.01 pg/µL); nondetectable values are imputed at 0.005 pg/µL. Horizontal bars indicate statistical significance in pairwise comparisons: ^****P < 0.0001 by Kruskal-Wallis test and Dwass, Steel, Critchlow-Fligner adjustment for multiple comparisons. AFB₁, aflatoxin B₁; C-Cord, child's cord blood at delivery; C-6mo, child at 6 mo old; C-18mo, child at 18 mo old; C-24mo, child at 24 mo old; M-1TM, mother at first trimester; M-2TM, mother at second trimester; M-3TM, mother at third trimester; M-3mo, mother at 3 mo postpartum; M-6mo, mother at 6 mo postpartum.
