Association of Changes in Portal Insulin with Immunometabolism During and After Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Caption

Lower portal insulin during HCVi is associated with changes consistent with altered pancreatic insulin secretion and decreased hepatic insulin extraction. The observed correlations support a potential relationship between the immune response and insulin dynamics, indicating an interplay between the immune system, metabolism, and insulin in HCVi, with clinical implications for the management of dysglycemia.
