IL-4 Correlates With Bone Mineral Density in Men, and IL-4 Depletion May Drive Bone Loss in Men With HIV
IL-4 levels are reduced in treatment-naive PWH and higher in ART-experienced PWH. IL-4 positively correlates with BMD in men but not women, suggesting that IL-4 protects the male skeleton and that IL-4 decline may contribute to bone loss in men with HIV.
