Summary

This study aims to understand how fat is stored in people with familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD), a condition that leads to serious health issues like diabetes and heart disease. Researchers will compare fat tissue samples from 14 participants (some with FPLD, some healthy) after they drink special water and receive tracer infusions. No treatment is tested; the goal is to learn more about the disease.
