Abstract excerpt
It is well established that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and replication relies on host lipid metabolism. HCV proteins interact and associate with lipid droplets to facilitate virion assembly and production. Besides, circulating infective particles are associated with very low-density lipoprotein. On the other hand, higher serum lipid levels have been associated with sustained viral response to pegylated...
