The hallmark characteristics are widespread loss of subcutaneous fat, ectopic fat deposition, leptin deficiency, and severe metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance. [9] Subcutaneous fat loss in AGL patients are visible in all parts of the body. AGL mostly affects face and the extremities and may look sunken or swollen in the eyes.
[4] [12] Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry may be useful by providing both regional %fat measurements, and direct visualization of fat distribution by means of a "fat shadow". [13] A genetic confirmation is sometimes possible, depending on the subtype. However, in up to 40% of partial lipodystrophy patients, a causative gene has not been ...

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (also known as Berardinelli–Seip lipodystrophy) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive condition, characterized by an extreme scarcity of fat in the subcutaneous tissues. [2] It is a type of lipodystrophy disorder where the magnitude of fat loss determines the severity of metabolic complications. [3]
Familial partial lipodystrophy, also known as Köbberling–Dunnigan syndrome, [2] is a rare genetic metabolic condition characterized by the loss of subcutaneous fat. [3]: 495 FPL also refers to a rare metabolic condition in which there is a loss of subcutaneous fat in the arms, legs and lower torso.
Corticosteroid-induced lipodystrophy (CIL) is a condition of abnormal fat deposition caused by corticosteroid medications. [1] Fat accumulates in the facial area ("moon face"), dorsocervical region ("buffalo hump"), and abdominal area ("pot belly" or "beer belly"), whereas the thickness of subcutaneous fat in the limbs is decreased. [1]
You can’t target fat loss from a specific area like your midsection, and even abdominal exercises alone won’t help you get rid of belly fat. Instead, focusing on overall weight loss and ...
Lipoatrophia semicircularis, also known as semicircular lipoatrophy, [1] is a medical condition in humans, commonly known as ribbed thighs.. It consists of a semicircular zone of atrophy of the subcutaneous fatty tissue located mostly on the front of the thighs.
