Multiple symmetric lipomatosis: A paradigm of metabolically innocent obesity? Response to Haap et al. [13] (multiple letters)

The study of Haap et al. (1) on two patients with multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL), also known as the Launois-Bensaude Syndrome, adds interesting new insights into a condition still poorly understood. As for the conclusions drawn concerning insulin sensitivity in patient 1, we would like to suggest some caution. Our study group has also measured the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in three subjects with MSL with the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic \ldots
