Abstract: A method for ameliorating, reducing, and/or preventing lipotoxicity-induced metabolic dysfunction in at least one cell is disclosed, said method comprising a step of contacting said at least one cell with a therapeutically effective amount of a synergistic anti-lipotoxicity cocktail, said cocktail comprising N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol. Also disclosed is a method for treating at least one lipotoxicity-related metabolic disorder chosen from the group comprising (a) metabolic syndrome; (b) non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; (c) obesity; and (d) coronary heart disease, said method comprising the step of administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-lipotoxicity cocktail, said cocktail comprising N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol. Finally, a composition for treating the effects of lipotoxicity, containing a synergistic combination of N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol is disclosed.

Abstract: A method for treating symptoms of a lipotoxicity-related phenomenon includes introducing into a patient a therapeutically effective synergistic amount of a phenomenon-inhibiting cocktail of a polyphenol (P), thiol antioxidant (To) and ascorbic acid (A) to reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or increase intracellular nitrite (NO), so that reduction of such phenomenon is at least 30% greater than the reduction of such phenomenon provided by separate administration of each of P, To and A.
