Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMitochondrial Energy-Deficient Endophenotype in AutismJ. Jay Gargus, Faiqa ImtiazWhile evidence points to a multigenic etiology of most autism, the pathophysiology of the disorder has yet to be defined and the underlying genes and biochemical pathways they subserve remain unknown. Autism is considered to be influenced by a combination of various genetic, environmental and immunological factors; more recently, evidence has suggested that increased vulnerability to oxidative stress may be … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 11,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-expression of Apoptosis-Related Molecules on Activated CD8+ CD38+ T-cells is Associated with HIV-1 Disease ProgressionJosé W. Rodríguez, Luis A. Rodríguez, Griselle Font et al.CD8+ T cells play a major role in controlling HIV-1 infection through the release of soluble lytic and non-lytic antiviral factors. Their decrease or defective function contributes to the HIV-1 disease progression. HIV-1 disease progression has been associated with a remarkable increase of CD38 expression on CD8+ T-cells. It has been also documented that a significant distribution of HIV-specific CD8+T-cells … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,016 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Factors and Metabolic Syndrome in HIV-Positive Drug Users in MiamiMarianna K Baum, Carlin Rafie, Shenghan Lai et al.The frequency of coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasing among HIV seropositive persons. This phenomenon may be related to HIV disease itself, the use of antiretroviral medications and increased length of survival, or the synergism of these factors. In this study we have calculated the 10-year CHD risk estimate and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a cohort of 118 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,993 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetabolic Abnormalities Associated with the Use of Protease Inhibitors and Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase InhibitorsMadhu N. Rao, Grace A. Lee, Carl GrunfeldThe use of protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for the treatment of HIV infection and AIDS has been associated with multiple abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolism. Specifically, these abnormalities include insulin resistance, increased triglycerides and increased LDL cholesterol levels. The metabolic disturbances are due to a combination of factors, including the direct effect of medications, restoration to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,941 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Changing Pathology of NeuroAIDS Associated with Drug Abuse in the Era of HAARTE Bell Jeanne, C. Anthony Iain, Simmonds PeterCompliance with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) arrests HIV induced immune collapse and reduces the prevalence of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications, including HIV associated dementia and encephalitis. However minor cognitive disorders remain common and recent autopsy studies have demonstrated the presence of subtle neuropathological abnormalities in HAART treated individuals, including persistent neuroinflammation and enhanced deposition in the brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,874 accessesView PDF Cite
