Brief Report: Adipogenic Expression of Brown Fat Genes in HIV and HIV-Related Parameters
Conclusions:
Key HIV-related parameters reflective of nonacute infection (increased duration of HIV and duration of antiretroviral therapy use) or relatively reduced immunologic function (lower CD4 count) were linked to reduced expression of brown and beige fat gene in the abdominal subcutaneous adipose depot.
