Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to examine whether replacing leptin to normal levels can reverse the changes in fat distribution lipid profile and other metabolic problems associated with highly active antiretroviral therapy HAART-induced lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome in HIV patients
Detailed Description: Exposure to HIV medications has been associated with metabolic changes including generalized fat depletion lipoatrophy high triglyceride levels and in some patients high sugar levels or diabetes This syndrome is associated with a deficiency of leptin a hormone produced by fat cells Recent studies involving leptin administration to patients with congenital lipoatrophy have shown dramatic improvements in metabolic parameters such as insulin resistance and hyperlipidemia Leptin administration to patients with HAART-induced lipoatrophy may also lead to significant improvements in the metabolic abnormalities found in these HIV patients The aims of this study are to examine the effect of leptin administration on insulin resistance and other parameters of the metabolic syndrome in HIV patients with HAART-induced lipoatrophy
