(HCV) infection.
Thiols are oxidized by oxidant radicals and form disulfide bonds.
Dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis is an important indicator used to
evaluate the presence and intensity of oxidative stress.
Abnormal dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis plays a role in the
pathogenesis of various diseases.
