Illustration depicting Hepatitis C virus (upper right) attacking hepatocyte cells (middle,with cutaway view) in the liver. Hepatocytes are cells of the main tissue of the liver and make up about 70 to 80% of the liver's cytoplasm. They are involved in protein synthesis and storage,transformation of carbohydrates,synthesis of cholesterol,bile salts and phospholipids,and the formation and secretion of bile. A bile duct is shown in green. A sinusoid (space which carries blood) is shown in blue. If untreated,hepatitis C can result in cirrhosis and cancer of the liver | |
