Chronic liver disease is associated with lipid metabolic disruption. We carried out a study to determine serum lipidomic features of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and active chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and explored the biomarkers for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles associate viral and lipoprotein moieties to form hybrid lipoviral particles (LVPs). Cell culture-produced HCV (HCVcc) and ex vivo-characterized LVPs primarily differ by their apolipoprotein (apo) B content, which is low for HCVcc, but high for LVPs. Recombinant
HCV (hepatitis C virus) represents a major global health problem. A consistent body of evidence has been accumulating, suggesting a peculiar overlap between the HCV life cycle and lipid metabolism. This association becomes evident both for the clinical symptoms of HCV infection and the molecular
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the role of the host-encoded silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) on hepatocytes' lipid metabolism under conditions of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and assess its potential effects on virus replication in vitro.
METHODS
The Huh-7.5 human hepatocyte cell line was used
Intestinal lymphangiectasia is defined as a dilatation of small bowel lymphatic capillaries and a loss of lymph into the bowel lumen. Clinically it is characterized by hypoproteinaemia and oedema. We present here a case of protein-losing enteropathy due to intestinal lymphangiectasia after liver
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein plays an important role in the development of hepatic steatosis in patients with chronic HCV infection. Treatment of C57BL/6 mice infected with HCV core recombinant adenoviruses with resveratrol significantly decreased hepatic triacylglycerols (TAG) while the
OBJECTIVE
Hepatic steatosis is an important histopathological feature of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) plays key role in regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism. We investigated the possible effect of HCV replication on lipid metabolism of
Clinical studies demonstrated that nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is associated with liver-related outcomes in chronic hepatitis B. Furthermore, primary biliary fibrosis and biliary atresia occurred in patients with HBV infection. Interestingly, hepatitis B virus surface protein (HBs) transgenic mice
OBJECTIVE
Very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) are triacylglycerol (TG)-rich lipoproteins produced by the human liver. VLDLs derive the majority of their TG cargo from the lipolysis of TG stored in hepatocellular lipid droplets (LDs). Important roles for LDs and the VLDL secretory pathway in the
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relations between the steatosis and liver functions, inflammations, and glucolipid metabolism in chronic hepatitis B patients.
METHODS
A total of 144 chronic hepatitis B patients who were admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to April 2017 were selected and divided
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in cell culture has a density comparable to that of other members of the family Flaviviridae, whereas in vivo infectious particles are found partially in low-density fractions, associated with triacylglycerol (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TRLs). In the blood of infected patients,
The composition, structure and immunogenicity of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) particles derived from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and from cells of the yeast Hansenula polymorpha were compared. The particles were similar in size distribution (mean 20-33 nm), in shape (spherical), in
HCV (hepatitis C virus) infection affects an estimated 180 million people in the world's population. Adverse effects occur frequently with current standard treatment of interferon and ribavirin, while resistance of new direct anti-viral agents, NS3 protease inhibitors, is a major concern because of
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the main liver diseases today, and may progress to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Some studies have shown the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise on reversing NAFLD. To verify whether chronic aerobic exercise improves
From analysis of the primary sequence of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein, we have identified three separable regions based on hydrophobicity and clustering of basic amino acids within the protein. Comparison with capsid proteins of related pesti- and flaviviruses suggested that HCV core has
