In situ detection of oxidized n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in chronic hepatitis C: correlation with hepatic steatosis

Abstract
Oxidative stress contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to assess the peroxidation of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the liver and its relation to hepatic steatosis in chronic hepatitis C.
