Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hyperlipidemia associated with the protease inhibitor (PI) component of highly active antiretrovial treatment can lead to accelerated atherosclerosis. The apolipoprotein A-V (APOA5) gene, which affects VLDL production and lipolysis, may play a role in PI-induced hyperlipidemia, particularly in individuals with the APOA5-1131T-->C genotype. METHODS: We measured lipoprotein changes in HIV-positive...
