Human small intestine is capable of restoring barrier function after short ischemic periods

Figure 5 Translated values of plasma levels of I-FABP and translated values of L/R ratio’s in patients submitted to 30 min of ischemia followed by 30 and 120 min of reperfusion. I-FABP correlated significantly with L/R ratio’s [correlation: 0.467, (P < 0.01)]. Translations of both variables are specific for an individual in such a way that all within-person means correspond to the zeros in the plot. In this way the variation of individual levels are cancelled and the pure association of both variables remains.
