  Carbonylated proteins are irreversible posttranslational oxidative modifications, which may interfere with the normal homeostasis of cell growth inducing liver cirrhosis and risk of malignancy. Objective: To determine plasma levels of carbonylated proteins and total antioxidant capacity and evaluate their role in HCV hepatitis patients and HCV induced liver cirrhosis before and after antiviral therapy; interferon and ribavirin. Methods: This study included twenty chronic hepatitis C patients with cirrhotic changes, twenty chronic hepatitis C patients without cirrhotic changes and before taking interferon therapy and Fifteen chronic hepatitis C patients without cirrhotic changes and after taking antiviral therapy; interferon (PEG-IFN α2a 180-μg/week and Ribavirin 800 mg capsule one time daily for 24 weeks). Twenty male healthy.. View More»
