Cytokines affect lipid and glucose metabolism and also alter the body's habitus. They play a
role in the development of lipodystrophy syndrome. Adipocytes secrete the pro‐inflammatory …

Objectives Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been hugely beneficial
in the treatment of HIV, HIV lipodystrophy (HIVLD) associated with HAART isaserious …

Objective To achieve a better understand of the pathophysiology of HIV-related lipoatrophy,
we compared the mRNA expression of adipocytokines in fat samples from patients and …

Objective and design: The present study aims at evaluating the influence of genetic
polymorphisms on antiretroviral therapy (ART)-associated lipodystrophy. We included in the …

Background: Leptin, adiponectin, and resistin may play an important role in the development
of lipodystrophy (LD) in HIV/AIDS patients. The aim of this study was to correlate levels of …

Leptin, adiponectin and IL18 are adipokines related with obesity, insulin resistance and
dyslipidemia in the general population. Treated HIV-1-infected patients with lipodystrophy …

Background The authors recently performed plastic surgeries for a small number of patients
with hemophilia, HIV infection, and morphologic evidence of lipodystrophy. Because the …

Context: The expression of adipogenic genes in sc adipose tissue has been reported to be
lower among patients with HIV-associated lipoatrophy than HIV-uninfected controls. It is …

Adipocytes play a crucial role in the metabolism of lipids and sugars. Their response varies
depending on the circumstances or other factors influenced by physiological and metabolic …

Objectives Adiponectin is a circulating peptide secreted by mature adipocytes that may act
as a regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the …
