Role of nitric oxide (NO) in interferon-alpha therapy for hepatitis C
2005, Journal of InfectionCitation Excerpt :Although IFN treatment remains the first line therapy for chronic hepatitis C at present, sustained virological response rate was not satisfactory when used as a monotherapy.2–4 The efficacy of IFN was closely related to the serum level of HCV RNA before treatment,5–7 the genotype of HCV,7,8 genetic polymorphism of non-structural 5A (NS5A) region9 and the staging of liver histology.7 The efficacy of IFN therapy for HCV-infected patients also depends on some host factors,10 but it remains to be determined how they influence the outcome of IFN treatment.
