SAA1 and CRP are strongly correlated. LBP and CRP are also strongly correlated. Matrix of pairwise correlations among proteins for (A) canoeing (n = 58); (B) cycling (n = 34); (C) gymnastics (n = 84); (D) handball (n = 139); (E) karate (n = 63) and (F) modern pentathlon (n = 111). The positive (blue) and negative (red) correlations at p value < 0.001 are shown. Protein correlations rs > 0.5. Full data are presented in Supplementary Material 1. Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein—A1AG1; Albumin—ALBU; Cystatin C—CYTC; C-reactive protein CRP; Hemoglobin beta chain—HBA; Haptoglobin—HPT; Insulin-like growth factor 1—IGF1; Lipopolysaccharide binding protein—LBP; Mannose-binding lectin—MBL2; Myeloperoxidase—PERM and Serum amyloid A1—SAA1.
