Extended Data Fig. 2: Biomarkers at baseline and non-response.
From: Adaptation of the small intestine to microbial enteropathogens in Zambian children with stunting
Scatter plots of baseline values of biomarkers against values at non-response in the same child. The black line shown is the line of identity, so points above and to the left (coloured in navy) represent children whose baseline values were higher than when non-response was declared. Conversely, points below and to the right of the line denote children whose values had increased by the date of non-response. For the biomarkers of microbial translocation (LPS, LBP and sCD14) the proportions which showed a decrease were 75%, 64% and 86% respectively, whereas iFABP increased in 63%. LPS, lipopolysaccharide; LBP, LPS binding protein; sCD14, soluble CD14; iFABP, intestinal fatty acid binding protein.
