In females with lipedema and obesity, reductions in pain after a low-carbohydrate diet were not significantly associated with changes in systemic inflammatory markers (hsCRP, TNF-α, MIP-1β) or fibrosis-associated markers (TGF-β1/2/3), suggesting systemic inflammation does not mediate pain reduction in lipedema, and that localized adipose tissue inflammation may be more relevant.
