Table 2 Correlation expressed by r-value between biochemical indices of liver injury and TGF-β1, TIMP-1, or MMP-1 in chronic hepatitis C patients before treatment

	Bilirubin	ALT	AST
TGF-β1 (ng/mL)	0.24	0.163	0.388^a
TIMP-1 (ng/mL)	0.023	0.393^a	0.370^a
MMP-1 (ng/mL)	–0.192	–0.130	–0.299

^aP<0.05 biochemical indices vs TGF-β₁, TIMP-1, and MMP-1.
