Evaluation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in a case series of familial partial lipodystrophy
2019
Background
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) is a rare genetic disease characterized by body fat abnormalities that lead to insulin resistance (IR). Clinical conditions linked to milder IR, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome, are associated with abnormalities of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, but little is known about its activity in FPL.
