Lipodystrophy is a medical condition characterized by abnormal or degenerative conditions of the body's adipose tissue. ("Lipo" is Greek for "fat", and "dystrophy" is Greek for "abnormal or degenerative condition".) A more specific term, ''lipoatrophy'', is used when describing the loss of fat from one area (usually the face). This condition is also characterized by a lack of circulating leptin which may lead to osteosclerosis. == Types == Lipodystrophy can be divided into the following types: : *Congenital lipodystrophies :: *Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (Beradinelli-Seip syndrome) :: *Familial partial lipodystrophy : *Acquired lipodystrophy :: *Acquired partial lipodystrophy (Barraquer-Simons syndrome) :: *Acquired generalized lipodystrophy :: *Centrifugal abdominal lipodystrophy (Lipodystrophia centrifugalis abdominalis infantilis) :: *Lipoatrophia annularis (Ferreira-Marques lipoatrophia) :: *Localized lipodystrophy :: *HIV-associated lipodystrophy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lipodystrophy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
