Supplemental Table 1A.

Supplemental Table 1. The concentration of total and free fatty acids is altered in HIV infection at baseline and week 48 compared to levels in HIV-uninfected donors. Plasma samples were thawed and the concentration (μM) of A) total and B) free (non-esterified) fatty acids were measured by the Complex Lipid Panel (Metabolon). Several changes in the concentrations of SaFAs, MUFAs, and PUFAs were measured among samples from HIV-uninfected participants, and in samples from HIV-infected individuals pre-ART initiation (baseline) and following 48 weeks of ART. Mean levels and standard deviations are reported. Statistically significant differences among the participant groups are designated in bold text; an exploratory value of P < 0.05 is used for a cutoff of significance.
