Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine liver fat content in patients with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-associated lipodystrophy. BACKGROUND: Lipodystrophy in several animal models is associated with fat accumulation in insulin-sensitive tissues, such as the liver. This causes hyperinsulinaemia, dyslipidaemia and other features of insulin resistance. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Three age- and weight-matched groups were compared: 25 HIV-positive men with HAART-associated lipodystrophy (HAART+LD+), nine HIV-positive men receiving HAART, but without lipodystrophy (HAART+LD-), and 35 HIV-negative healthy men (HIV-). Liver fat content was measured using proton spectroscopy. Intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat were determined using magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Liver fat content was significantly higher in the HAART+LD+ (8 +/- 10%) than the HIV- (5 +/- 7%; P < 0.05) or the HAART+LD- (3 +/- 5%; P < 0.01) group. Liver fat content correlated with serum fasting insulin in the HAART+LD+ (r = 0.47; P < 0.05) and HIV- groups (r = 0.65; < 0.001), but not with the amount of intra-abdominal fat. Within the HAART+LD+ group, serum insulin did not correlate with the amount of intra-abdominal fat. The HAART+LD+ group had a lower serum leptin concentration when compared to the two other groups. Features of insulin resistance, including hepatic fat accumulation, were not found in HAART+LD-group. CONCLUSIONS: The severity of the insulin resistance syndrome in patients with HAART-associated lipodystrophy is related to the extent of fat accumulation in the liver rather than in the intra-abdominal region. Fat accumulation in the liver may therefore play a causative role in the development of insulin resistance in these patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
