Positive association between serum apolipoprotein M levels and hepatitis B virus DNA load in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B

Table 2 Serum apoM levels and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA loads in HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients

	HBeAg-negative	HBeAg-positive	p-value
Apolipoprotein M, mg/L	52.42 ± 28.09	58.32 ± 27.06	0.248
LogHBV DNA	4.32 ± 2.03	5.61 ± 1.97	0.001

Data are means ± standard deviations. The p-values refer to comparisons between the HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive groups
