Trial of Leptin Replacement Therapy in Patients With Lipodystrophy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Lipodystrophies represent a therapeutic challenge with regards to insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and fatty liver which often is coupled with significant adipose tissue loss. The purpose of the study is to examine the safety and efficacy of Leptin on subjects with lipodystrophy.

Clinical Trial Description

The mechanism by which leptin improves glucose and lipid control is not clear. We will examine the possible mechanisms of leptin action by studying the effects of leptin administration on food intake, insulin resistance, insulin secretory response, hepatic and intramuscular triglyceride stores in a large sample of patients with lipodystrophy. Hypothesis: Leptin replacement in patients with generalized and partial lipodystrophy and hypoleptinemia will be safe and efficacious in improving the metabolic abnormalities associated with insulin resistance. ;
