Correlation chart for individual biomarker measurements against changes in muscle mass: Correlation matrix showing correlation coefficients (R) for correlations between measured biomarker levels (or ratio between them, C6M/IC6) measured at the 2W and 4W time points and changes in muscle mass from PRE to 2W time points and 2W to 4W time points. Δm indicates changes in muscle mass up to the specified period, e.g. Δm M,4W is the change in muscle mass from the 2W time point to the 4W time point
