lipid	Fat or fat-like substances found in the blood and body tissues. Lipids serve as building blocks for cells and as a source of energy for the body. Cholesterol and triglycerides are types of lipids.

lipid profile	A group of blood tests that measure cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Test results are used to determine a person's risk for heart disease or stroke. High lipid levels may be associated with use of some antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

lipid-lowering agent	A drug used to lower the amount of cholesterol and certain fats in the blood. Statins block a key liver enzyme involved in making cholesterol.
lipoatrophy	Loss of fat from specific areas of the body, especially from the face, arms, legs, and buttocks. Use of some antiretroviral (ARV) drugs may cause lipoatrophy.

lipodystrophy	Changes in lipid metabolism and body composition, including accumulation of fat (lipohypertrophy) loss of fat (lipoatrophy) and redistribution of fat. Use of some antiretroviral (ARV) drugs may cause lipodystrophy.
lipodystrophy	Changes in lipid metabolism and body composition, including accumulation of fat (lipohypertrophy) loss of fat (lipoatrophy) and redistribution of fat. Use of some antiretroviral (ARV) drugs may cause lipodystrophy.
lipohypertrophy	Abnormal accumulation of fat, particularly within the abdominal cavity, the upper back (buffalo hump) and subcutaneous tissue (peripheral lipomatosis) Use of some antiretroviral (ARV) drugs may cause lipohypertrophy.

lipoma	Benign (not cancerous) lumps of fat that develop under the skin. Lipomas can develop as a result of lipodystrophy, which may be caused by certain antiretroviral (ARV) drugs.

liquid bleach	Sodium hypochlorite is most often encountered as a pale greenish-yellow dilute solution commonly known as liquid bleach or simply bleach	Nataly­a Rovin­a
liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry	LC-MS/MS	coltuc­lu
LiST	Lives Saved Tool	Nataly­a Rovin­a
Little Baby	LB
live attenuated	A disease-causing virus or bacterium that is weakened in a laboratory so it cannot cause disease (or only mild disease) Live attenuated viruses are often used as vaccines because, although weakened, they can stimulate a strong immune response. However, because of remote possibility that a live attenuated virus could cause disease, people infected with HIV should not receive most live attenuated vaccines.

liver	The largest organ in the body, located in the upper abdomen on the right side. The liver has many important functions, which include converting food into energy, producing bile (a liquid that helps with digestion) processing drugs and alcohol, removing toxins from the body, filtering blood, and producing blood cells and blood-clotting components.
