Lipedema and Dynapenia: Inflammatory Myosteatosis as a Mechanistic Link Between Tissue Expansion and Muscle Dysfunction This academic review explores the clinical paradox where patients with advanced lipedema suffer from dynapenia, a significant loss of muscle strength despite having legs that appear large or muscular. The authors introduce a new framework centred on inflammatory myosteatosis, suggesting that chronic fat inflammation causes lipids to seep into muscle fibers, which subsequently poisons mitochondrial function and disrupts cellular energy. This "metabolic bottleneck" leads to a therapeutic deadlock because the very exercise needed to rebuild strength often triggers unbearable pain and swelling in these damaged tissues. To break this cycle, the text proposes a dual-target hypothesis that prioritises stabilising the metabolic environment with modern incretin-based therapies before attempting functional muscle recovery. Ultimately, the paper reframes lipedema as a complex adipose–muscle dysfunction rather than a simple issue of excess fat, calling for a more nuanced approach to staging and treating the disease. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/27/5/2319
