Summary
Plasma antioxidant status can be evaluated by selenium, retinol and a-tocopherol. The present study concerns 89 HIV-1 positive patients. The plasma level of selenium was determined by PIXE (proton-induced X-ray emission analysis) and by measurement of levels of vitamins A and E by HPLC. The data were compared to controls; among the HIV-1 patients, significant differences were found for plasma selenium between groups selected on the basis of the CD4 lymphocyte count. Differences were also observed for plasma retinol between the HIV-1 patients and the control subjects. Correlations with other nutritional and immunological parameters were shown.
