Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress (OS) and insulin resistance (IR) induced by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, are involved in the development of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) complications and progression to hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pegylated interferon alpha (IFNα) + ribavirin (PegIFNα+RVB) or sofosbuvir + NS5A inhibitor (SOF+InNS5A) on IR and the components of OS. HCV was...
