  Although HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been linked with an increased cardiovascular risk, the pathological pathways remain unknown. We assessed whether secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS), Superoxide dismutases (SOD), adiponectin and resistin were elevated in HIV infected patients with detectable and undetectable viral load compared to a control group matched for age, sex and cardiovascular risk factors. We evaluated its correlation with traditional and no traditional cardiovascular risk factors and carotid intima-media thickness. Levels of sPLA2 (median [IQR]) were 8.35 (5.36, 9.6) pg/ml, hsCRP were 3.3 (IQR, 1.27, 5.28) mg/L, VCAM 945.6 (I.. Read More»
