Serum omentin-1 is correlated with the severity of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Figure 3 Serum omentin-1 in relation to liver fibrosis. A: Serum omentin-1 levels of hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients with liver cirrhosis and non-cirrhotic patients, which was diagnosed by ultrasound before therapy; B: Serum omentin-1 levels of HCV patients categorized according to the fibrosis-4 score (26 patients no fibrosis = No; 18 patients had intermediate values = IMV, 40 patients had fibrosis = Yes) before therapy; C: Serum omentin-1 levels of HCV patients without and with liver cirrhosis, which was diagnosed by ultrasound, at sustained virological response 12 (SVR12). Small circles and stars above the boxes mark outliers. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01.
