The invention provides, inter alia, fatty acyl hydroxy fatty acid (FAHFA; a novel class of estolide-related molecules) and diagnostic and treatment methods for a variety of disorders—including diabetes-related disorders, Metabolic Syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, cancer, and inflammatory disorders—using them; as well as methods of screening for additional compounds that are useful in treating these disorders and/or that modulate FAHFA levels, FAHFA-mediated signaling, and FAHFA-mediated biological effects.
本发明特别提供了脂肪酰羟基脂肪酸(FAHFA;一类新型的雌脂相关分子)和使用它们治疗各种疾病--包括糖尿病相关疾病、代谢综合征、多囊卵巢综合征、癌症和炎症性疾病--的诊断和治疗方法;以及筛选其他有助于治疗这些疾病和/或调节 FAHFA 水平、FAHFA 介导的信号传导和 FAHFA 介导的生物效应的化合物的方法。
