    AbstractHYPERLIPIDEMIA: HIV-1 protease-inhibitors therapy is associated with increased levels of triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and Lp(a). But the understanding of hyperlipidaemia occurring in patients treated with HIV-1 protease-inhibitors is not easy since HIV infection itself is associated with lipid abnormalities and since HIV-1 protease-inhibitors therapy is also responsible for the development of a lipodystrophy syndrome (insulin resistance) which may influence lipid metabolism. However, many data indicate that HIV-1 protease-inhibitors therapy itself modifies significantly lipid metabolism.
