Obesogenic Impact of Dolutegravir-based Antiretroviral Therapy among HIV-Infected Ugandans
REFNo: HS1029ES
The primary aim is to rigorously investigate the obesogenic effects of DTG switches including: 1. Body composition changes, using body mass index (BMI) and anthropometrics and whole body DXA to measure lean and fat mass (including whole body, trunk, and limb). 2. Ectopic fat changes, emphasizing hepatic fat as measured noninvasively using the continuous attenuation parameter (CAP) measured in dB/m by FibroScan. 3. Cardiometabolic changes, through measurement of HOMA-IR, hemoglobin (Hb)A1c, and fasting lipid panel. We will also explore a major potential mechanism of INSTIrelated weight gain by measuring orexigenic (ghrelin, adiponectin) and anorexigenic (leptin, PYY) hormones, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of antipsychotic related weight gain, as well as weight loss related to bariatric surgery
