Conclusion -- Acknowledgments -- Conflict of interest -- References. 330 $aLipedema is an underdiagnosed painful adipose tissue disorder that occurs almost exclusively in women, with onset manifesting at puberty or at times of hormonal change. Unlike many fat disorders, diet and exercise have little to no impact on the prevention or progression of this disease. Estrogens control the distribution of body fat and food intake, regulate leptin expression, increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce inflammation through signaling pathways mediated by its receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ER?) and ER?. This review will focus on understanding the role of estrogen in the pathogenesis of the disease and envisage potential hormonal therapy for lipedema patients. 606 $aEstrogen 615 0$aEstrogen. 676 $a573.44 700 $aAl-Ghadban$b Sara$01348886 702 $aBunnell$b Bruce A. 702 $aTeeler$b Mary L. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633982303321 996 $aEstrogen as a Contributing Factor to the Development of Lipedema$93086577 997 $aUNINA
