HTLV1 infection and long term association with liver function and lipid indices; 10 years’ follow-up
Individuals with HTLV-1 infection exhibit reduced VAI but elevated levels of liver enzymes such as AST, ALT, ALP, and GGT, indicating liver damage. These findings emphasize the virus's involvement in liver pathology. Also, HTLV-I is associated with reduced visceral fat tissue.
