Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The principal aim of the present study was to determine the mechanism of dyslipidemia, which occurs during the long-term use of anti-HIV drugs. We investigated patient background information based on medical records, clinical test values, and drug use in HIV-infected patients, and evaluated the activity of the glucocorticoid-activating enzyme, 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in urine samples using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Our results revealed high activity of 11β-HSD1 according to the urine metabolite data in patients who used antidyslipidemic drugs combined with anti-HIV drugs and in patients with increased blood low-density lipoprotein levels after the use of anti-HIV drugs. These results suggest that 11β-HSD1 is involved in anti-HIV drug-related dyslipidemia.
