  • Use of an endogenous ligand for peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha to treat liver disorders
    Patent number: 8337835
    Abstract: Compositions comprising the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR?)-ligand 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (16:0/18:1-GPC) are disclosed. These compositions may be used for the prophylaxis and treatment of PPAR?-related liver disorders including, but not necessarily limited to, fatty liver disease, to lower lipid and triglyceride levels, and to increase high density lipoprotein levels in animals. Foods modified with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (16:0/18:1GPC) may be used to improve the metabolism of animals.
