Method of modulating fatty acid mobilization and oxidation
Methods of mobilizing fatty acids are disclosed.
1. A method for mobilizing fatty acids in a subject with a composition comprising redox-signaling molecules, the method comprising:
providing a subject;
preparing a composition comprising a mixture of reduced species (RS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) by electrolyzing a circulating saline solution to produce the mixture of reduced species (RS) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) wherein the mixture of reduced species and reactive oxygen species mobilizes the fatty acids in a subject;
administering the composition to the subject;
exercising the subject; and
verifying increased mobilization of fatty acids in the subject by measuring biochemical markers related to mobilization of fatty acids in the subject.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biochemical markers comprise one or more of 1-palmitoylglycerophosphoethanolamine, 1-oleoylglycerophosphoethanolamine, 1-stearoylglycerophosphoethanolamine, 1-arachidonoylglycerophosphoethanolamine, 1-palmitoylglycerophosphoinositol, 1,3-dipalmitoylglycerol, 1-oleoylglycerophosphoinositol, 2-linoleoylglycerophosphoethanolamine, 1-palmitoylglycerol (1-monopalmitin), 1-stearoyl glycerol (1-monostearin), glycerol, myristate, palmitate, palmitoleate, oleate, decanoylcarnitine, palmitoylcarnitine, acetoacetate, 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA, eicosapentaenoate, linoleate, stearidonate, trans-4-hydroxyporoline, urate, 7-methylguanine, N2,N2-dimethylguanosine, xanthine, and hypoxanthine.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein administering the composition comprises administering four ounces of the composition daily to the subject for at least two weeks prior to exercising the subject.
