Hepcidin/ferroportin expression levels involve efficacy of pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin in hepatitis C virus-infected liver

Figure 1 Expression levels of iron-metabolism-related genes in hepatitis C virus-infected liver in each genotype. The levels were measured by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. ^aP < 0.05 vs genotype1b, ^bP < 0.01 vs genotype1b, ^cP < 0.05 vs control, ^dP < 0.01 vs control.
