  • Title: Plasma free fatty acid turnover in total lipodystrophy.
    Author: Boucher BJ, Cohen RD, France MW, Mason AS.
    Journal: Clin Endocrinol (Oxf); 1975 Jan; 4(1):83-8. PubMed ID: 1122658.
    Abstract:
    Basal free fatty acid (FFA) turnover was found to be elevated or at the upper limit of normal in a patient with total lipodystrophy. The decrease in plasma FFA concentration which occurred after intravenous administration of insulin was shown to be primarily due to a fall in the inflow of FFA into the circulation. These results provide support for the suggestion that adipocytes in total lipodystrophy are able to synthesize triglycercide, but that they are unable to store it because of rapid lipolysis.
