Abstract
- Objective: To determine Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) levels in patients with Familial Partial Lipodystrophy (FPLD).<br />Methods: Ten patients with FPLD and a control group (9 patients) were selected to participate in the study.<br />Results: RBP4-log levels were lower in patients with FPLD in comparison to control group (1.52 +/- 0.32 vs 1.84+/-0.25, p=0.029). A statistical trend was observed between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and RBP4-log (r=-0.44, p=0.054).<br />Conclusion: RBP4 levels are decreased in FPLD.
