CCL2 and Lipedema: Despite normal glycemic parameters, women with lipedema have significantly higher levels of total cholesterol (5.84 ± 0.70 mmol/L vs 4.55 ± 0.77 mmol/L in control; p<0.001), LDL-C (3.38 ± 0.68 mmol/L vs 2.38 ± 0.66 mmol/L in control; p=0.002), as well as higher circulating inflammation (top 6 based on p-values: TNFSF14, CASP8, EN-RAGE, EIF4EBP1, ADA, MCP-1) and oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and catalase).
