Lipids, lipoproteins, triglyceride clearance, and cytokines in human immunodeficiency virus infection and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

Abstract: Infection causes disturbances in lipid metabolism that may be mediated by cytokines. Therefore we studied plasma lipids, lipoproteins, triglyceride (TG) metabolism, and serum cytokines in three groups: patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) without active secondary infection, patients with evidence of human immunodeficiency virus infection but without clinical AIDS (HIV+), and controls. Plasma TGs and FFA were increased in AIDS, while plasma cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) chol… Show more

“…These observations suggest that the subgroup of patients with the lowest CD4+ count display a high risk to develop acquired immune defi ciency syndrome (AIDS). Indeed, it has been previously reported that patients with AIDS displayed an increase in plasma TG levels and hepatic lipogenesis, as well as a decrease in TG clearance ( 29 ). By contrast, patients with HIV infection displayed plasma TG levels within the normal range, shedding light on the possibility that the decrease in TG clearance leading to an increase in plasma TG levels observed in patients with AIDS represents a consequence of AIDS development.…”

“…9,10 Increased triglyceride levels as a result of increased synthesis and secretion is a more consistent feature of inflammationinduced lipid changes. 6,11 These observations raise the possibility that the impact of diet on plasma lipids could be modified by the degree of underlying inflammation.…”

“…Grunfeld C, et al found the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in 50% cases in their study and concluded that hypertriglyceridemia was related to disease per se rather than effect of ART. 12 Aldrovandi, et al found the incidence of abnormal triglycerides in 52% and 20% of HIV infected children in the PI and non-PI groups, respectively.…”
