Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Growing evidence shows that HCV increases the risk of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in predisposed individuals. The mechanism whereby HCV induces T2DM is insulin resistance (IR). HCV was shown to impair the hepatocyte insulin signaling pathway by several mechanisms, including the stimulus to the production of tumour necrosis factor-¿, serine phosphorylation of the insulin receptors (IRS), the over-expression of the suppressor of cytokines (SOC-3) and the induction of SOC-7. The virus-induced metabolic derange-ments may interact with host-related genetic and environmental factors, aggravating insulin resistance and possibly leading to the development of T2DM. An imbalance in the adipocytokine profile and the presence of liver steatosis/steatohepatitis could contribute to this scenario. If HCV is directly involved in the development of IR and T2DM, it is reasonable to hypothesise that its clearance might result in a parallel decrease in the risk of T2DM incidence. Conversely, a successful eradication of HCV would improve clinical outcomes in patients with established T2DM. |
