However, these differences did not reach statistical significance except for the caproic acid (hexanoic acid), which was less abundant in the HIV+plaque+ group (p=0.049).

borderline significancep=0.052
By using this analysis in the HIV+ individuals, we observed that expression of IL-32D and IL-32θ, IL-18, VEGF-A and IFNβ remained significantly associated with coronary artery atherosclerosis independently of age, smoking or statin treatment (p=0.031, p=0.042, p=0.001, p=0.029 and p=0.046, respectively), whereas TRAIL, IL-1β and FLT3L showed borderline significance (p=0.052, p=0.055, and 0.059, respectively).
marginally significantp=0.053
While we did not observe systemic outlier samples, statistical analysis of three analytes (IL-1β, FGF-23, and FSH) became marginally significant, only in the HIV+ group (p=0.053, 0.068 and 0.085, Table 2 ).
Since our data showed a highly significant potential role for IL-32 in atherogenesis, it was important to identify the underlying mechanisms by which IL-32 upregulation is sustained in ART-treated PLWH.
