A graph showing the serum concentration of cholesterol detected in each female (○) or male (Δ) subject plotted against the grade of splenic parasite load in that subject. The colour of each data-point indicates whether the subject was a known case of visceral leishmaniasis (black), a non-endemic control (red) or an endemic control (green). The two regression lines shown are fitted to the data for the female (dashed line) or male cases (solid line) of visceral leishmaniasis; the coefficients defining each of these lines are given in the Table.
