Impaired glucose tolerance, beta cell function and lipid metabolism in HIV patients under treatment with protease inhibitors

AIDS · 1999 · Vol. 13(10) · pp. F63–F70

Abstract

Combination drug regimens including PI are accompanied by impaired glucose tolerance, hyperproinsulinaemia as an indicator for beta-cell dysfunction, and lipid abnormalities proved to be significant risk factors for coronary heart disease. Moreover, PI may have an impact on the processing of proinsulin to insulin.
