Insulin Resistance in HCV Infection (NCT01858012)
Impact of Hepatitis C on Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Secretion in Latinos
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The study hypothesis is that the means by which HCV induces glucose intolerance is through impairment of B-cell function and compensatory hyperinsulinemia in predisposed Latinos with insulin resistance and that HCV eradication improves these abnormalities. It is also hypothesized that moderate alcohol consumption impact insulin sensitivity and secretion with Latinos with or without HCV infection.
