Abstract

Leptin and adiponectin are two adipokines currently used as biomarkers for diagnostic orientation and phenotyping in syndromes of lipodystrophy and severe insulin resistance. The level of these biomarkers also has an impact on the therapeutic management of the patients. These aspects, as well as our experience as a reference center, are described in this brief overview.

Keywords: adiponectin; insulin resistance; leptin; lipodystrophies; metreleptine.
