Correlation analysis of sialotransferrin (Tf) fraction levels with dietary intake of fructose, sucrose, sorbitol and their sum (FSS) and with liver parameters in HFI patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess bivariate relationships between variables. Significant p-values are marked in bold.
