Decreases in the serum VLDL-TG/non-VLDL-TG ratio from early stages of chronic hepatitis C: alterations in TG-rich lipoprotein levels.

Decreases in the serum VLDL-TG/non-VLDL-TG ratio from early stages of chronic hepatitis C: alterations in TG-rich lipoprotein levels.

BACKGROUND: The liver secretes very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and plays a key role in lipid metabolism.
