The cross correlation coefficients of LPI (measured as 1/DHR oxidation rate) and NTBI parameters (DCI and MDCI) measured in the plasma of 10 L1-treated thalassemia patients were calculated over the entire profile, as depicted in Figure 6 (for 4 of 10 patients). The mean correlation coefficients and their respective SEM values were calculated for all 10 profiles as well for those excluding the 3 profiles that had essentially no detectable levels of MDCI or LPI at the onset of the treatment (patients 2, 6, and 10, labeled with an asterisk).
