Abnormal glucose metabolism leads to weight change in acute phase of SIVmac239 infection in Beiping-top monkey

  Objective: To explore the effects of inflammatory factors, lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism on body weight in the acute phase of AIDS.

  Methods: To detect the acute phase inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6), lipid metabolism (cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and glucose metabolism parameters (insulin) of SIVmac239 infected Beiping-top monkey 、Insulin resistance index), compare the difference between the weight gain group and the weight loss group in SIV infection of Beiping-topped monkeys, and use Pearson correlation analysis to explore the correlation between insulin resistance and plasma viral load.

  Results: In the acute stage of SIVmac239 infection in Beiping-top monkeys, the four items of inflammatory factors and blood lipids were not significantly different between the weight gain group and the weight loss group; the insulin level of the weight gain group was significantly decreased, and the insulin level of the weight loss group was significantly increased. Insulin resistance performance; Pearson analysis showed that the changes in insulin resistance index at the 5th and 11th weeks after infection were positively correlated with plasma viral load.

  Conclusion: In the acute phase of SIVmac239 infection, abnormal glucose metabolism may be the main cause of weight change in Beiping-topped monkeys.
