a The pictures of a female patient who was diagnosed of acquired general lipodystrophy. b Her plasma H2O2 levels were measured before and after GSH treatment. For healthy control, the value represent mean ± s.e.m. of 9 samples. c Her total body fat was analyzed by DXA (c, left), and fat mass index (FMI) was calculated (c, right). d Subcutaneous fat area (cm2) was measured by a fat monitor. e CAP was analyzed by fibroscan. f, g Liver fat content was analyzed by MRI-PDFF. Each value represents mean ± s.e.m. of a triplicate. Plasma ALT (h, left), AST (h, right) and HbA1c (i) were measured. j A summary of the key findings in the figure.
