Altered kinetics were also observed in women with malaria at Visit 1 for the following angiogenic and metabolic factors: sEng (χ2 = 38.3, p < 0.001), Angptl3 (χ2 = 13.3, p = 0.001), and Leptin (χ2 = 13.2, p = 0.001; Fig 3, Table 4; S5 and S6 Tables). This evidence concerns the gene LEP and malaria.
