USE OF LEPTIN FOR TREATING POST-LIPECTOMY ECTOPIC FAT DEPOSITION AND OTHER POST-LIPECTOMY ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

摘要

Leptin, leptin analogs, leptin derivatives, and other leptin agonists are used to treat subjects with post-lipectomy ectopic fat deposition and associated metabolic abnormalities or disorders. Such leptin, leptin analogs, derivatives, and other leptin agonists are also used in the preparation of medicaments for treating or preventing ectopic fat deposition and associated metabolic abnormalities or disorders in such subjects. Such ectopic fat deposition and metabolic abnormalities conditions or disorders include, but are not limited to, hepatic steatosis, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, insulin-resistance, and diabetes mellitus.
