Abstract

Lipedema is a lipodystrophic disease that is typically characterized by a marked increase in lower-body subcutaneous adipose tissue that is purported to have increased inflammation and fibrosis, impaired microvascular/lymphatic circulation and to be resistant to reduction by weight loss therapy. However, these outcomes have not been adequately studied. We evaluated body composition, insulin sensitivity, metabolic health and adipose tissue biology in women with obesity and lipedema (Obese-LIP) before and after moderate (~9%) diet-induced weight loss. At baseline, people with Obese-LIP had ~23% greater leg fat mass, ~11% lower android-to-gynoid ratio and ~48% greater insulin sensitivity (all P<0.05) than women matched on age, BMI and whole-body adiposity. In Obese-LIP, macrophage content and expression of genes involved in inflammation and fibrosis were greater, whereas lymph/angiogenesis-related genes were lower in thigh than abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue. Weight loss improved insulin sensitivity and decreased total fat mass, with similar relative reductions in abdominal and leg fat masses, but without changes in markers of inflammation and fibrosis. These results demonstrate that affected adipose tissue in women with lipedema is characterized by increased inflammation and fibrogenesis, and alterations in lymphatic and vascular biology. Moderate diet-induced weight loss improves metabolic function and decreases lower-body adipose tissue mass.

期刊介绍: Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes. However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
