Administration of pentoxifylline was shown to reduce the triacylglycerol levels in AIDS patients, although this reduction was only marginally significant ( P = 0.06) and the study was open label (non-blinded). 49 More importantly, pentoxifylline does not alter other aspects of AIDS wasting, emphasizing the fact that AIDS wasting is not entirely TNF dependent.
