Conflicting data exist regarding the relationship between hepatitis C virus genotype 1 and hepatic steatosis as well as the latter's role in the progression of fibrosis and treatment response. We assessed factors associated with hepatic steatosis in genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C and the impact of h

Insulin resistance affects sustained virological response (SVR) in chronic hepatitis C. To know whether adding metformin to standard antiviral treatment improves SVR, we conducted a prospective, multicentered, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in 19 Spanish hospitals, including 12
In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the influence of the genetic heterogeneity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the progression of liver disease and on the responsiveness to interferon therapy is a matter of controversy. In this study we evaluated the genetic complexity of HCV by singlestrand con
## Abstract The interferon sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) is useful as a predictive marker of the response to interferon (IFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis patients with a Japan‐specific subtype (J‐type) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. This marker is not useful for predicting respon
