Figure 4From: Impaired mitochondrial β-oxidation in patients with chronic hepatitis C: relation with viral load and insulin resistance Ketone body concentration are related with acylcarnitine and free fatty acid in patients with chronic hepatitis C. There is a significant positive correlation between the concentration of total ketone body and the levels of acylcarnitine (rs 0.56, P <0.01),(A), as well as free fatty acids (rs 0.54, P <0.01), (B).Back to article page
