Higher levels of plasmatic saturated fatty acid were significantly associated with liver fibrosis in HIV mono-infection: A case-control study by Cristiane Fonseca de Almeida, Wilza Arantes Ferreira Peres, Paula Simplício da Silva, Claudia Santos de Aguiar Cardoso, Michelle Morata de Andrade, Julio Castro-Alves, Marcel de Souza Borges Quintana, Marina Campos Araujo, Karla Yasmin Dias Fraga, Julliana Antunes Cormack, Ronaldo Ismerio Moreira, Sandra W. Cardoso, Valdilea G. Veloso, Beatriz Grinsztejn, Patricia Dias de Brito, Hugo Perazzo

“…Presence of higher percentage of plasmatic palmitc acid (16:0) was associated with an increased odds for liver fibrosis [adjusted OR = 1.23 (95%CI 1.04–1.46); p = 0.02] in multivariate models. Conclusion: This study showed the potential role of the plasmatic FA composition in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis in PLWHA.…”
