Abstract

The present invention provides for a novel lipokine, trans-C16:1n7-palmitoleate, which also serves as a biomarker for metabolic status. More specifically, low concentrations of trans-C16:1n7-palmitoleate the serum indicates a risk of metabolic disease. Additionally, administering trans C16:1n7-palmitoleate to a subject (via pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or other means), positively impacts glucose metabolism.
