ROLE OF VIRAL SUPPRESSION,IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION AND TNF A IN HIV LIPODYSTROPHY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。这项研究的目的是确定哪些因素在HIV相关的脂肪营养不良的发展中最重要，脂肪营养不良是一种由体脂和血脂水平变化定义的综合征。作为常规体检的一部分，我们将测量你血液中某些炎症标志物的水平并监测你身体脂肪分布的变化。

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 purpose of this study is to determine which factors are most important in the development of HIV associated lipodystrophy, a syndrome defined by changes in body fat and serum lipid levels. We will be measuring levels of certain markers of inflammation in your blood and monitoring you for changes in distribution of body fat as part of your routine physical examination.
