Fig. 3: Salivary lactoferrin concentration over time in OM and non-uOM groups.

Median ± IQR lactoferrin concentration in unstimulated whole-mouth (UWS) (a) and stimulated whole-mouth saliva (SWS) (b) over time in the ulcerative oral mucositis (uOM) and non-uOM groups. Numbers in the graph represent the number of samples at the different time points in the uOM and non-uOM groups.
