March 22, 2016 updated by: Roy Kim, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Effects of Recombinant IGF-I in HIV Associated Metabolic Disease

This study examines the effects of recombinant insulin like growth factor - I on body composition, glucose homeostasis, and lipids, in adults with HIV infection and signs of metabolic disease.

Detailed Description

The main objectives of this study are the following:

  1. Determine the effect of recombinant human insulin like growth factor-I (rhIGF-I) (generic: mecasermin) on subcutaneous adiposity in patients with HIV lipodystrophy syndrome.
  2. Determine the effects of rhIGF-I on glucose homeostasis and lipids in patients with HIV lipodystrophy.
  3. Determine the effects of rhIGF-I on apoptosis, mitochondria, and inflammation, in adipose tissue obtained from patients with HIV lipodystrophy.
