Dysregulation in Plasma ω3 Fatty Acids Concentration and Serum Zinc in Heavy Alcohol-Drinking HCV Patients
Figure 4
Association of plasma-derived PUFAs involved in inflammation and serum zinc levels in HCV + AUD patients (Gr. 2). (a) Association of proinflammatory shift as characterized by the ω6 : ω3 ratio and serum zinc levels. (b) Association of total ω6 concentrations and serum zinc levels. (c) Association of total ω3 concentrations and serum zinc levels. Data analysis showed correlation coefficient: “r”; #adjusted analysis with NDD90 as a covariable: R2. Statistical significance was set at . NS: not significant.
