Issues Mol. Biol.","CIMB"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Lipedema and obesity are often misdiagnosed or clinically confused yet arise via distinct mechanisms, complicating diagnosis and treatment. This review synthesizes evidence differentiating these conditions across genetic, hormonal, inflammatory and mechanical pathways to identify therapeutic targets. Lipedema may involve genetic predisposition (forkhead box C2 [FOXC2], prospero homeobox 1 [PROX1]), hormonal dysregulation with aberrant aromatase activity, and altered adipogenesis (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma [PPAR\u03b3], CCAAT\/enhancer-binding protein [C\/EBP]). A proinflammatory microenvironment with macrophage M1\/M2 imbalance, elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), and extracellular matrix remodeling is hypothesized to drive fibrosis. Emerging evidence implicates gut-derived endotoxemia (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]-toll-like receptor 4 [TLR4]-nuclear factor kappa-B [NF-\u03baB]) and mechanotransduction (Yes-associated protein [YAP]\/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif [TAZ]) in adipocyte hypertrophy and treatment resistance. Obesity involves systemic metabolic dysfunction with visceral adiposity and cardiometabolic comorbidities. Lipedema patients maintain metabolic health, exhibit gluteofemoral fat distribution and experience neuropathic pain via nociceptor sensitization (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 [TRPV1] and ankyrin 1 [TRPA1]) with central amplification. Weight-loss interventions are ineffective, necessitating targeted strategies. Promising targets include TLR4 antagonism, vascular endothelial growth factor C\/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGF-C\/VEGFR3) modulation for lymphatic enhancement, YAP\/TAZ inhibition and neuromodulators for pain. Physical therapy functions as a biological modifier targeting inflammation, lymphatic drainage and mechanotransduction. This review highlights promising but largely hypothesis-generating molecular insights and calls for validated biomarkers, rigorous clinical trials, and mechanism-based therapies. Many of the pathways discussed require further confirmation in human studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cimb48090892","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T11:33:32Z","timestamp":1788262412000},"page":"892","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Molecular Distinctions, Diagnosis, and Mechanism-Based Therapies in Lipedema and Obesity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Yi\u011fit Ege","family":"G\u00fcney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Therapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, Istanbul Topkapi University, Istanbul 34087, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u0131la \u00c7a\u011fla","family":"Demiralay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Sciences, Gazi University, Ankara 06540, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0130lke","family":"Keser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, Gazi University, Ankara 06490, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Dudek, J.E., Bia\u0142aszek, W., and Gabriel, M.
