Correlation of infant plasma and urine HMO levels with breast milk concentrations.

<p>Scatter plots showing the association between individual HMO levels in breast milk and those in the corresponding infant plasma or urine.Pearson correlation statistics of log transformed data are inset. A: Absolute quantitation of 2′FL [Log (mg/L)]; B: Relative quantitation of 2′FL, 3FL, LNnT and LNFP I [Log (peak area)]. Solid lines represent best fit through the data points; (for n, see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0101692#pone-0101692-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>). (Plasma: black circles, Urine: white diamonds, Nonsecretor subject by 2′FL/3FL ratio: asterisk). NS, not significant.
