However, such marker was related with different parameters in the networks, and with distinct correlation profile (positive vs. negative correlations) (Figure 2), which explained in part why TGF-β was relevant to explain the differences between the study groups described in the discriminant model based on correlations described in Figure 1B. Thus, these results argue that hepatic steatosis is associated with alterations in the profile of correlations between values of the biochemical parameters evaluated here. Here, TGFB1 is linked to fatty liver disease.
