ABSTRACT Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection appears to be endemic in most parts of the
world, with an estimated overall prevalence of 3%. However, there is considerable …

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is a free radical-related process that in biologic systems may occur
under enzymatic control, eg, for the generation of lipid-derived inflammatory mediators, or …

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a known risk factor for hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC), but whether the risk varies among patients infected with different HCV …

Hepatitis C infection has come to the top of virus-induced liver diseases in many parts of the
