Abstract
Various biomarkers have been suggested as associative or predictive of HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment. Plasma levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), and hematocrit were evaluated for relationships with diffusion tensor imaging measurements of centrum semiovale, caudate, and putamen. MCP-1 levels correlated with tissue status (mean diffusivity) in all examined regions. Plasma markers were also significantly correlated with anisotropy measurements in centrum semiovale (TNF-α) and putamen (hematocrit).
