Recovery of lipid metabolic alterations in hepatitis C patients after viral clearance: Incomplete restoration with accelerated ω-oxidation

•Target hepatitis C virus (HCV)–associated hypolipidemia recovery patterns may treat HCV complications. •HCV clearance reinforced cholesterogenesis, hepatic lipid export, and ω-oxidation. •Hypolipidemia restored better in G2 and male HCV patients than the counterparts. •HCV-associated hypolipidemia incompletely restored 24 weeks after therapy. Background How hepatitis C virus (HCV)–associated lipid metabolic alterations recover after sustained...
