Facial soft tissue volume decreases during metreleptin treatment in patients with partial and generalized lipodystrophy
2017
Purpose
Lipodystrophy (LD) patients suffer from loss or maldistribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue accompanied by dysregulation of several adipocyte-secreted factors, e.g., leptin. The effect of recombinant leptin (metreleptin) therapy on facial soft tissue volume in patients with non-human immunodeficiency virus LD has not been quantified to date.
