HEPATIC STEATOSIS AND INSULIN IN HIV PATIENTS

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。这项研究的具体目的是：1.确定横断面人群中HIV感染患者肝脏脂肪浸润物的患病率，并确定肝脏脂肪含量的潜在决定因素。2.探讨HIV感染者肝脏脂肪含量与胰岛素敏感性的关系。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The specific aims of this study are: 1. To determine the prevalence of fatty infiltrate of the liver in a cross-sectional population of HIV infected patients and to identify potential determinants of liver fat content. 2. To evaluate the relationship between liver fat content and insulin sensitivity in HIV infected subjects.
