Abstract:
:We measured the free amino acids in plasma of 58 patients with HIV infection and in six persons in the risk group. The HIV+ patients had significantly increased concentrations of arginine, phenylalanine, and glutamate in comparison with both age- and sex-matched controls and the members of the risk group. Glutamate concentrations increased only in an advanced stage of the disease (WR 5 and 6 of the Walter Reed staging classification), whereas arginine and phenylalanine increased independently of the stage. There was no correlation between the amino acid concentrations and the number of T4 and T8 lymphocytes, the sedimentation rate, and the existence or absence of Kaposi's sarcoma. The amino acid pattern of HIV-infected persons is similar to that of cancer patients or those with other immune deficiencies.
