  1. Data were presented as median and range.
  2. ‡ p < 0.008 HBV related cirrhosis vs. inactive HBsAg carriers and control.
  3. * p < 0.001 CHB vs. inactive HBsAg carriers and control.
  4. ** p < 0.001 HBV related cirrhosis vs. inactive HBsAg carriers and control.
  5. Differences were regarded as significant at 0.05/4 in Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis.
  6. CHB, chronic hepatitis B; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; HBV, hepatitis B virus; TAR, total antioxidant response; OSI, oxidative stress index.
