- On stable Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved antiretrovirals for at least 8
weeks

- Excess abdominal fat based on waist and hip measurements done at the screening visit.
[waist greater than 34.7 inches (men) or 29.6 inches (women) and waist to hip ratio
greater than 0.95 (men) or 0.9 (women)]

- Evidence of insulin resistance (based on fasting glucose and insulin levels done at
screening)

- Triglycerides less than 750 mg/dL

Exclusion Criteria:

- Pregnancy

- Active AIDS-defining infection or other acute illness, within 30 days of entry.

- Active cancer (except for localized Kaposi's sarcoma) or active brain tumor

congestive heart failure)

- Untreated or uncontrolled high blood pressure, within 30 days of entry.

- Within 12 weeks of study entry, use of the following:

- Obesity (fat-reducing) drugs.

- Anti-diabetic or insulin-sensitizing drugs (examples: rosiglitazone,
pioglitazone, or metformin).

- Systemic glucocorticoids (example: prednisone).

- Growth hormone or any medication for AIDS-associated wasting.

- Systemic chemotherapy, interferon, or radiation therapy.

- Androgenic agents [examples: nandrolone, oxandrolone (Oxandrin) (testosterone
replacement therapy is permitted if started more than 30 days before entry)]
