Figure 2 Proposed molecular pathways involved in the development of insulin resistance in patients with hepatitis C. aRecent evidence indicates that leptin and adiponectin do not account for the increased insulin resistance found in patients with CHC.53 Additional studies are required to confirm the role of adipocytokines in patients with chronic hepatitis. FAS, fatty acid synthetase; MTP, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; PP2Ac, protein phosphatase 2Ac; SREBP-1, sterol response element-binding protein-1.
