Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) modulates host lipid metabolism for its replication and lifecycle. Our aims were to assess changes in the serum lipid and distal (post-squalene) cholesterol biosynthesis metabolite profile of HCV genotypes (GT) 2 and 3 patients treated with sofosbuvir+ribavirin. METHODS: Serum samples [baseline, treatment week 12, 4weeks post-treatment] were analyzed for apolipoproteins...
