Circulating microRNAs Related to Bone Metabolism in HIV-Associated Bone Loss

Abstract excerpt

The pathophysiology of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated bone loss is complex and to date largely unknown. In this study, we investigated serum expression of microRNAS (miRNAs) linked to bone metabolism in HIV-associated bone loss. This was a case-control study. Thirty male individuals with HIV infection (HIV+) and osteoporosis/osteopenia (HIV+/OP+) (cases) and 30 age-matched male HIV+ individuals...
