Overall, these findings indicate that reductions in GPx3 abundance trends with disease severity with stage 1 having the highest mean levels of GPx3 (1.99 g/ml 0.73 g/ml) and the highest K1/U1 ratio (0.86), followed by the stage 2 with a mean of 1.2 g/ml 0.54 g/ml and average K2/U2 ratio of 0.67, with the most severe form of konzo, stage 3, displaying the largest reduction in average protein abundance (mean: 1.15 g/ml 0.58 g/ml) and the lowest K3/U3 ratio of 0.59 (Supplementary Data 1)
