This systematic review reports that lipedema adipose tissue and ASCs show elevated IL-8 in ASC supernatants, elevated serum IL-28A, IL-29 and IL-11, increased oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde and protein carbonyls), and VE-cadherin downregulation suggesting vascular barrier dysfunction, indicating inflammatory and stress-related mechanisms.
