Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The purpose of this study is to see if taking a uridine supplement (NucleomaxX ) is safe in HIV-infected persons and if it will reverse loss of fat in the face, arms, legs, or buttocks. The study will also try to see how well NucleomaxX is tolerated. NucleomaxX is a powdered nutritional food supplement that contains a substance called uridine. It comes in a sachet (packet) and needs to be mixed in with juice, milk, or water. NucleomaxX is used in Europe as a food supplement but is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is considered an experimental drug in the U.S. About 164 people will take part in this study across the country. About 20 will take part in it at this site.
