Platelet-Activating Factor and Its Basic Metabolic Enzymes in Blood of Naive HIV-Infected Patients
Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | Angiology
We examined PAF metabolism in blood of naive male patients, 8 with early HIV infection (group A) and 17 just before treatment initiation (group B), versus 18 healthy age-matched males (group C). Statistical analysis was performed with 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) criterion and Pearson r test. Higher PAF biosynthesis in patients’ leukocytes versus group C was accompanied by an increase in lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity that degrades PAF. Moreover, PAF synthesis was higher and Lp-PLA2 activity was lower in group B compared to group A. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 was positively correlated with viral load and negatively correlated with CD4 cell counts in group B. The activities of PAF-basic biosynthetic enzymes in patients’ leukocytes w...
