First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fat is stored in people with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), a condition that can lead to diabetes and heart disease. Researchers will compare fat tissue from people with FPLD and healthy volunteers. Participants drink special water and get infusions to track fat, then provide small fat samples from the belly and thigh.
