Skeletal muscle morphology and exercise response in congenital generalized lipodystrophy.
OBJECTIVE Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by almost complete absence of adipose tissue, muscular appearance, and severe insulin resistance since birth. We investigated whether insulin resistance in CGL patients is associated with abnormal muscle morphology and whether increased muscularity imparts increased muscle strength and ...
متن کاملCongenital generalized lipodystrophy.
Clinical features of congenital generalized lipodystrophy, a rare disorder, first described by Zeigler include loss of subcutaneous fat, hepatomegaly, increased bone growth, hyperlipaemia and, later, diabetes. The inheritance is probably autosomal recessive. Generalized lipodystrophy may involve the diencephalon. A probable defect in the hypothalamus may lead to increased levels of hypothalamic...

OBJECTIVE To present the major clinical and biochemical characteristics of congenital generalized lipodystrophy. DESCRIPTION Eight infants with congenital generalized lipodystrophy were identified at the Endocrine and Nutritional Pediatric Disease Outpatient Clinics at Hospital de Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG). Clinical manifestations common to all patients included mu...
متن کاملThe Response of Skeletal Muscle-Expressed Neurotrophins to Acute Resistance Exercise in Male Wistar Rats
Background. BDNF and NT-4/5 have been proposed to be involved in the coordinated adaptations of the neuromuscular system to the elevated level of activity, but an activity-dependent expression of neurotrophins in skeletal muscle is not well established. Objectives. We, therefore, investigated the effect of one session of resistance exercise on mRNA expression of some neurotrophins in Slow and ...
متن کاملCongenital Generalized Lipodystrophy: A Multisystemic Metabolic Disorder
Loss of fatty tissue occurring in a partial or generalized distribution is called as lipodystrophy. Generalized lipodystrophy may be congenital or acquired in nature. Congenital generalized lipodystrophy or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by the near absence of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue from birth or early infancy with s...
