| Inflammatory markers | Slope | R-Square | P-value | Slope | R-Square | P-value |
| MPO (U/g) | 1.704 | 0.775 | 0.016 | 0.604 | 0.839 | 3.241E-4 |
| TNF-α (pg/mg) | 0.455 | 0.749 | 0.007 | 0.212 | 0.916 | 3.276E-5 |
| IL-1β (pg/mg) | 0.112 | 0.750 | 0.007 | 0.033 | 0.823 | 0.001 |
Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to correlate the digestive enzymes and inflammatory markers. The correlation significance was considered when P values were lower than 0.05.
