Current HIV/AIDS Research Activities:
- HAART-and HIV- induced cardiovascular toxicity, metabolic effects and therapy:
- In vitro endothelial cytotoxic mechanisms of HAART drugs (NRTIs, NNRTIs, and Protease inhibitors)
- In vivo systemic oxidative/nitrosative and neurogenic inflammation and metabolic lipid disturbances induced by combination ART regimen leading to cardiac pathology and contractile dysfunction in HIV-transgenic rat model.
- Potential protective effects and mechanisms of Mg-supplements
