  • Patent number: 11484608
    Abstract: The present provides a Positional Isotopomer NMR Tracer Analysis (PINTA) method that can be used to noninvasively assess rates of hepatic mitochondrial oxidation (VCS) and/or pyruvate carboxylase (VPC) flux in a subject. In certain embodiments, the methods utilize a combined NMR/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of plasma following infusion of [3-13C]lactate and glucose tracer. The method of the invention provides investigators with a tool to non-invasively examine the role of altered hepatic mitochondrial metabolism and study the effects of therapeutic interventions for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

  • Publication number: 20030165430
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transgenic Fatty Acid Transport One (FATP1), non-human knockout mammal, e.g., mammal, useful for elucidating the function of FATP in intact animals whose genomes comprise a wild-type FATP gene. Further aspects of the invention provide a method for the identification of agents, e.g., therapeutic agents, that inhibit FATP1 activity, and methods of treating diseases or conditions associated with FATP1 function, e.g., insulin resistance, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and cellular triglyceride accumulation.
