TREATMENT OF AUTOPHAGY-RELATED DISORDERS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of neutral lipids, including triglycerides, diglycerides and monoglycerides which may be used to increase neutral lipids (lipid stores and/or lipid droplets) and neutral lipid stores in order to regulate (in particular, induce) autophagy and treat and/or prevent autophagy related disease states and/or conditions. In one embodiment, the invention relates to the use of neutral lipids and/or TRIM proteins which may be used to regulate (in particular, induce) autophagy, target autophagic substrates and treat and/or prevent autophagic disease states and/or conditions.
