| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Present study examined noninvasive metabolic markers in serum by LC-MS/MS system to evaluate host-factor related to the development from hepatitis C to liver cirrhosis. Sera were collected from healthy control, hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients, HCV patients with interferon therapy (HCV+IFN) and liver cirrhosis (LC) patients. In the results, the inactivated beta-oxidation and activated choline metabolism in the HCV patients would be largely inverted in the LC patients. In the examined metabolic markers, the influences of IFN therapy on the host-factor could not be detected. The metabolic fluctuations of the host side may suggest to be deeply involved in the progress from chronic hepatitis C to liver cirrhosis.
