Abstract

To compare serum adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha among patients with viral liver diseases; to investigate associations of serum adiponectin and TNF-alpha with histological or viral characteristics of chronic hepatitis C (CHC); to investigate adiponectin and TNF-alpha alterations during interferon (IFN)-alpha treatment; and to assess the relationship between serum adiponectin and TNF-alpha and response rates to treatment. Adiponectin (mug/mL) and TNF-alpha (pg/mL) determinations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serial samples (before, the middle, the end, and 6 months after the end of treatment) from 83 CHC and 59 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Forty-three blood donors served as healthy controls. Patients were treated with IFN-alpha (4.5 MU/t.i.w.) for 12 months in CHB cases, and IFN-alpha (3 MU/t.i.w.) plus ribavirin for 6-12 months according to hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype in CHC cases. After adjustment for gender and body mass index (BMI), HCV genotype 3 overweight patients (BMI > 25 kg/m(2)) had significantly lower adiponectin (7.3 +/- 2.7) at baseline compared with non-3 HCV genotype overweight patients (P < 0.05). Lower adiponectin (HCV genotype 3, P= 0.02 and HCV genotype 1, P= 0....Continue Reading
