A relationship between obesity and intestinal bacterial translocation has been reported. Very little information is available with respect to the involvement of the bacterial translocation mechanistic pathway in HIV-1/highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (HALS). We determined whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP), cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14), myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) single-nucleotide polymorphisms and LPS, LBP and soluble CD14 (sCD14) plasma levels are involved in HALS.
