Abstract
The specification discloses methods for modulating cellular metabolism in a subject, modulating being desirable to mitigate a condition of the subject. Disclosed methods include processes for administering to said subject an effective amount of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein one and only one of R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 is a straight-chain or branched-chain .omega.-hydroxyalkyl (5-8C), or is a branched-chain (.omega.-1)-hydroxyalkyl (5-8C), or is an (.omega.-1)-oxoalkyl (5-8C), or is an (.omega., .omega.-1) or (.omega.-1, .omega.-2)-dihydroxyalkyl (5-8C), or is an alkenyl substituent (5-8C), and the other is alkyl (1-12C) optionally containing one or two non-adjacent oxygen atoms in place of C.
