What exactly would you do if you had the ability to never gain weight? With this sort of ability, you’d probably never have to pull yourself up to go to a hot and sweaty gym or do some vigorous home exercise. Seems a bit like a dream, doesn’t it?
Well, this particular ability isn’t exactly fictional. A young woman by the name of Lizzie Velasquez suffers from it. Although we all have desires to eat certain delicious foods, Lizzie has to eat every 15 minutes whether she is full or not. This is because she was born without adipose tissue and is constantly losing weight.
The condition of losing body fat rapidly and improperly distributing it is called lipodystrophy. It is caused by a variety of syndromes and diseases, but only a few of them can cause a severe case of it. Lizzie’s lipodystrophy is caused by Wiedemann Rautenstrauch syndrome, which is also known as neonatal progeroid syndrome. The syndrome not only causes severe weight loss and complete lack of adipose tissue, but it also causes growth delays and premature aging.
There isn’t a cure for Wiedemann Rautenstrauch syndrome. However, Lizzie has learned to deal with and manage her condition. She also plans on being the best motivational speaker that she can be.
The good bad news is that scientists at the Dundee University has cultured a serum tainted with lipodia called WR4B which is 70% consistent with Wiedemann Rautenstrauch cell structure without the aging compounds. It is expected to go commercial by 2016.
