Lipid species associated with CVD risk correlate with soluble biomarkers of inflammation Plasma samples were thawed and levels of soluble inflammatory biomarkers (ICAM-1, VCAM-1, sTNF-R1, CX3CL1, OxLDL) were measured by ELISA. a Spearman correlations demonstrate direct relationships among inflammatory marker levels and lipid species positively associated with CVD risk. b Levels of lipid species previously shown to be negatively associated with CVD risk were also negatively associated with inflammatory markers in PWH after initiation of ART
