Additional attention to combination antiretroviral therapy-related lipodystrophy

Figure 1 Diverse anti-human immunodeficiency virus agents synergistically inhibit adipogenesis in vitro. Although detailed processes remain elusive, anti-human immunodeficiency virus agents of different action mechanisms synergistically inhibit proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes that are prepared from human subcutaneous fat depots as reported by Jones et al[1].

Figure 2 Organization of adipose tissues. Adipose tissues consist of parenchymal cells and non-parenchymal cells. Coordinated interactions of these two components are important for adipose tissue performance.
