Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with hepatic steatosis, particularly in patients with HCV genotype-3 (HCVGT3). It has variously been hypothesized, largely from in-vitro studies, to be the result of increased synthesis, decreased metabolism and export of triglycerides. We measured by real-time PCR the expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism [acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase alpha,...
