Pathogenetic aspects of virological variants of chronic hepatitis C

It has now been established that with viral hepatitis, incl. and with Chronic viral hepatitis С (CHC), a universal mechanism of hepatocyte death develops through the increased production of reactive oxygen species, causing excessive lipid peroxidation of membrane structures (Glushkov S.I., 2016; Aripov O.A., 2018.). In this case, the main function of protection is when lipid peroxidation (LPO) is activated, the antioxidant defense system (AOD) of cells is performed, the deficiency of which becomes one of the factors for the activation of pro-oxidant systems. An important point in the effectiveness of AOP is the balance of SOD and catalase. A decrease in the activity of one of the AOP enzymes can lead to excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species and membrane damage. An imbalance in the activity of the LPO and AOP systems is the basis for the onset of cellular destruction [Bueverov A.O. 2012].
