HCV core protein and the change in total ketone body concentration during fasting. The rate of change in total ketone body concentration between 12 h and 15 h after fasting in patients with a serum HCV core protein level of 10000 fmol/L or higher was significantly lower than that in patients with a level of less than 10000 fmol/L (* denotes P <0.05). The line represents a median value. Log transformation was performed. Student’s t test.
