ASSOCIATION BETWEEN LIPID PEROXIDATION ACTIVITY AND HYPERENZYMIA IN CHRONIC HEPATITIS C

Any pathological process, including chronic hepatitis C, is accompanied by increased production of free radicals and subsequent activation of lipid peroxidation processes. These changes lead to alterations in the structural and functional properties of biological membranes and contribute to cellular dysfunction. The primary protective role against excessive lipid peroxidation is performed by the cellular antioxidant system. Insufficiency of this system becomes one of the key factors promoting prooxidant reactions in the body. Therefore, studying lipid peroxidation processes in chronic hepatitis C and their relationship with disease activity remains an important scientific and clinical task.
