This invention provides methods and compositions for inducing weight loss and maintaining optimum weight comprising administering an agent that stimulates carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1 (CPT-1) activity to the patient in need, including human patients. These methods do not require inhibition of fatty acid synthesis. In particular, this invention provides methods for development of therapeutics that selectively enhance fatty acid oxidation, increase energy production, and reduce adiposity while preserving lean mass, through the pharmacological stimulation of CPT-1 activity. In a preferred mode, the agent is administered in an amount sufficient to increase fatty acid oxidation. In another preferred mode, the agent is administered in an amount sufficient to antagonize malonyl CoA inhibition of CPT-1. In yet another preferred mode, the agent is administered in an amount sufficient to increase malonyl CoA level.
本发明提供了诱导减肥和维持最佳体重的方法和组合物,包括向需要的患者(包括人类患者)施用刺激肉碱棕榈酰转移酶-1(CPT-1)活性的制剂。这些方法不需要抑制脂肪酸的合成。特别是,本发明提供了通过药理学刺激 CPT-1 活性,选择性地增强脂肪酸氧化、增加能量产生、减少脂肪同时保持瘦肉质量的治疗药物的开发方法。在一种优选模式中,药剂的用量足以增加脂肪酸氧化。在另一种优选模式中,药剂的用量足以拮抗丙二酰 CoA 对 CPT-1 的抑制。在另一种优选模式中,药剂的用量足以提高丙二酰 CoA 的水平。
