Metabolic Abnormalities and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Adults with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Lipodystrophy

TL;DR: HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy demonstrated significantly increased waist-to-hip ratios, fasting insulin levels, and diastolic blood pressure compared with controls, demonstrating a metabolic syndrome characterized by profound insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metformin in the treatment of HIV lipodystrophy syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: This study suggests that a relatively low dosage of metformin reduces insulin resistance and related cardiovascular risk parameters in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of growth hormone dynamics in human immunodeficiency virus-related lipodystrophy.

TL;DR: Pulse analysis demonstrated decreased baseline GH in the LIPO subjects but no significant difference in pulse frequency and insulin-like growth factor-I was not different between the groups and the mean GH concentration was correlated inversely with mean GH concentrations in the HIV-infected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Androgen Administration in Men with the AIDS Wasting Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of physiologic testosterone administration on body composition, exercise functional capacity, and quality of life in androgen-deficient men with the AIDS wasting syndrome were investigated.
