Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether injected medications will increase the amount of
fat released by a fat cell. We will compare prednisolone (a synthetic cortisone) combined
with isoproterenol (a drug given for asthma) versus using isoproterenol alone. We will also
test if injections of isoproterenol and prednisolone will shrink the size of lipomas, which
are benign fatty tumors.
