Briefly, based on the previous evidence and the results of the present study, it seems that infection with HTLV-1 by destruction of sub-layers of arteries, especially the intima layer, leads to disruption of the integrity of sub-layers of arteries and through various mechanisms, causing the sub-layer’s destruction, increasing the intima-media thickness, changing the lipid profile, and developme...
