Can changes in mitochondrial DNA affect health and development?: The quadrillion mitochondria in the cells of women (and men) have their own DNA (known as mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA), the human mitochondrial genome has 37 (to 39) genes.

I searched several gene databases in the US.

Lipedema – the mostly unknown disease at women, a heriditary mitochondrial disfunction?

Keep in mind: Lipedema almost exclusively at women is NOT a rare disease (more than about 17 million women in the US suffering from the adipose disorder), but the diagnosis is rarely made! This has to be changed!

After more than five years intensive research I might have found some deeper cause for LIPEDEMA: it might be an disorder in the mtDNA in the quadrillion (!) mitochondria (round about 45.000.000.000.000.000 and up to 60.000.000.000.000.000!) of the cells or fat cells at women and damaged mitochondria tend to proliferate more and faster than healthy ones.


Deutscher Hinweis zu LIPÖDEM – der weitgehend unbekannten Volkskrankheit bei Mädchen ab der Pubertät und Frauen:

An der St. George’s University of London (Pia Ostergaard (PhD), Project: „Genetic Analysis of Lipoedema“) startete März 2016 eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung von LIPÖDEM, um die genetischen Ursachen zu identifizieren, diese dauert 2 Jahre.
Komplementärmediziner, die sich mit der Besonderen Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsmethode Mitochondriale Medizin (keine Ärztekammer-Qualifikation) beschäftigen, geben an, dass bei Lipödem ein Energieverlust IN den Zellen (oder Fettzellen) vorliegt, Lipödem also eine vererbte Mitochondriopathie sei.

Hieraus ergeben sich natürlich ganz neue Therapien, nämlich die Multimodale Mitochondrientherapie neben Fettabsaugungen (Liposuktionen)!
Es bedarf weiterer umfangreicher wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen mit einer großen Patientinnen-Zahl zur Erkennung der genauen Genmutationen eines oder mehrerer der 37 Gene der mtDNA in den Billiarden Mitochondrien IN den Zellen (grob geschätzt ca. 45.000.000.000.000.000 bis weit über 60.000.000.000.000.000!), ebenso zu den innovativen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten dieser mitochondrialen (?) Erkrankung bei Frauen, um die kausalen Behandlungsmethoden für diese Volkskrankheit bei Frauen endlich zu finden.
