Lipid analysis in plasma by mass spectrometry

P values were calculated using Student’s unpaired two-tailed t test. Control group consists of mock-treated uninfected animals; HIV group, HIV-infected mock-treated animals; preTO + HIV group, animals pretreated with T0901317 and then infected with HIV (results for nonrespondent mouse, which was infected and maintained virus load on weeks 6 and 8, is shown in a separate column).
