Values of linear correlation coefficients between concentrations or activities of the studied biochemical parameters (number of the examined). Description of other parts as in Table 2. ATA: Antitrypsin activity; CB: Cathepsin B; LASA: Lipid-bound sialic acid; LE: Leukocytic elastase; TSA: Total sialic acid.
