The metabolic effects of PIs may be associated with more effective viral suppression, as a greater proportion of patients in the PI group achieved undetectable levels of virus.
Further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between viral suppression and metabolic changes in patients on PI therapy.

However, it is also possible that the metabolic effects of PIs are associated with more effective viral suppression, because a greater proportion of patients in the PI group achieved undetectable levels of virus.
Why this rating
The study design involves paired data analysis in a clinical context.

- Initiation of protease inhibitor (PI) therapy in HIV-infected patients leads to significant increases in glucose (+9+/-3 mg/dl; p = .0136), insulin (+12.2+/-4.9 U/ml; p = .023), triglycerides (+53+/-17 mg/dl; p = .0069), and total and LDL cholesterol (+32+/-11 and +18+/-5 mg/dl; p = .0082 and .0026, respectively).Strong
- Changes in glucose and lipid metabolism induced by PI therapy occur without significant changes in weight or fat distribution.Strong

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
