  1. Correlation coefficients are under the diagonal, 95% confidence intervals for correlation coefficient are in upper triangle
  2. BMW breast muscle weight, IMF intramuscular fat percentage, TG relative triglycerides content, CHO relative cholesterol content, PL relative phospholipids content
  3. aCorrelation coefficients (and their 95% confidence intervals) significantly different from zero are in italics (p-value < 0.05)
