Abstract
Protease inhibitors are increasingly recognized as causing significant metabolic abnormalities including hypertriglyceridaemia, hypercholest erolaemia, insulin resistance, diabetes, and lipodystrophy(1,2). Consi derable concern has been generated by recent reports(3) of premature c oronary artery disease occurring in HIV-1 infected patients on proteas e inhibitor containing regimens.
