Serum TG species in relation to sex in patients with chronic HCV. (a) Total TGs in female and male patients (median level and range); (b) TG species with an identical number of carbon atoms were grouped together and compared between female and male patients (mean concentration ± standard deviation); (c) TG species with an identical number of double bonds were grouped together and compared between female and male patients (mean concentration ± standard deviation). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01
