Core Tip
Core tip: Currently, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection still poses a serious threat to public health, and causes approximately 1 million deaths annually due to HBV-related liver diseases. Thus, investigation into the complex host cellular responses to HBV infection is a crucial area of research. Multiple epidemiologic data have proved that patients with HBV infection often have metabolic disorders. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the alterations in metabolic response to HBV infection with regard to molecular mechanisms. Deciphering the detailed interplay mechanisms would contribute to our understanding of HBV-induced pathological processes and may lead to nutritional therapies as new anti-HBV treatments.
