چکیده

background hbv infection is a serious public health problem worldwide, which can contribute to the incidence of chronic hepatitis b (chb), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc). objectives in the present report, we assessed the association between adiponectin, its receptors and hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and inflammation with hepatitis b virus. patients and methods liver biopsies from 89 patients with untreated chronic hepatitis b (34 steatosis vs. 55 without steatosis) were analyzed; liver biopsies from 50 healthy adults were used as control. the liver biopsies were subjected to routine histological examination, and stained immunohistochemically for adiponectin and adiponectin receptor2 (adipor2). results the two groups were found to be comparable with respect to demographic, biochemical, metabolic, histological, and viral characteristics. bmi, γ-gt, fpg, insulin, and insulin sensitivity estimated by the homa index were significantly higher in patients with steatosis. the viral load of hbv and hbeag positivity was higher in patients with steatosis than those without steatosis. high serum adiponectin levels were significantly correlated with abnormal serum alt level (vs. normal alt, p = 0.000), and hbv genotype c (vs. genotype b, p = 0.018). in patients with chronic hbv, the insulin sensitizing adipokine adiponectin, and its receptor adipor2were associated with steatosis. while adiponectin may becorrelated with inflammation, adiponectin, and its receptors were not associated with viral factors. conclusions our results suggest that the role of adiponectin might be impaired in chronic hepatitis b with steatosis. reduced hepatic expression of adiponectin and adipor2 might be of pathophysiological relevance in chb patients with steatosis. these findings indicated that reduced liver adiponectin expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis, and progression of chb patients with steatosis. however, hepatic expression of adiponectin, and adipor2 was not associated with various measures of hbv infection.

The relationship between serum adiponectin and steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype-4.

BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying steatosis during hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are complex and multifactorial. The aim of our study was to assess whether host metabolic factors influence the degree of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 4 by investigating the role of adiponectin, leptin and insulin resistance. METHODS Adiponectin and le...
