Fatty-acid composition of lipids was studied by gas chromatography techniques as was the level of free cholesterol in high- and low-density lipoproteins in 15 patients with chronic hepatitis and 15 hepatocirrhotic patients. Significant changes in fatty-acid spectrum were recordable suggesting activation of the process of lipid peroxidation. The above changes were at their greatest in patients with hepatocirrhosis.
