Correlation between the cholesteryl ester transfer protein level and triglyceride concentration in the four major lipoprotein classes in the hepatitis C virus eradication group and the active hepatitis C virus infection group. A: The CETP level had a weak correlation with HDL cholesterol in the active HCV infection group (R = 0.324, P = 0.015) and a weak, inverse correlation with chylomicron-cholesterol (R = -0.290, P = 0.031); B: The CETP level had a strong correlation with HDL-TG in the active HCV infection group (R = 0.557, P < 0.001). However, significant correlations with TG for other lipoprotein classes were not detected in the active HCV group. HCV: Hepatitis C virus; CM: Chylomicron; VLDL: Very-low-density lipoprotein; LDL: Low-density lipoprotein; HDL: High-density lipoprotein; TG: Triglyceride.
