Zika Virus Alters the Viscosity and Cytokines Profile in Human Colostrum

Figure 2

Cytokine levels and correlations with the viscosity of colostrum supernatant according to maternal ZIKV infection. (a) IL-10 and IL-6 levels of the colostrum supernatant from mothers infected or not infected with ZIKV during pregnancy. (b) Pearson’s correlation between IL-10 and IL-6 levels for control and ZIKV groups. (c) Pearson’s correlation between viscosity and IL-10 levels for both groups. (d) Pearson’s correlation between viscosity and IL-6 levels for both groups. Statistical difference (). Statistical difference between the groups (); it was assessed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test ().
